Oh, Jacie, you are not alone. My son has been involved for almost 3
years, and is almost 21. He has alienated everyone that cares about
him because of his involvement in this business. He moved out in
November and is now living in a situation that I am really
uncomfortable with. I am heart-broken over the direction his life has
taken because of this business.

I would search through these messages. You will find lots of
information that is so valuable. Pay close attention to what Hal and
Deb have to say. They have helped me immensely.
