Letter to Steve

Dear Steve
 

Steve you recently got accepted into college and now started using drugs.  I know you would deny this but it is a fact.  You cannot hide the fact that you are doing it, it has become quite clear.  I don’t understand; your life was perfect, why did you start using drugs? I wonder what triggered this and if someone did influence you, I must find out who.  It happened so fast, my once successful son has now become what others consider to be a bad influence.  It makes me question myself as a good father.  It seems like I failed you and failed as a good parent.  Although you started using drugs, it will not change the fact that I still love you.  I will always be here so feel free to talk to me about anything.  I don’t want you to hesitate; if something is bothering you, I want you to tell me because we can fix it.  You don’t always have to resort to drugs.  Everyone has a bad time in their life, and right now I know you are but that doesn’t mean you should just give in, you must keep fighting because eventually things will work out well.  If you every need a hand Steve, I’m right here.

Love, Dad
