When children reach puberty, all bets are off imo. They are as susceptible to peer influence as parental influence - maybe more so.

Some kids just go off the rails despite being raised in loving homes where NONE of the negative behaviors were/are modeled. Sometimes it's drugs, peers etc.

You can believe 110% that you're "in touch" with your child, communicating, loving, laughing - then BAM! it's all proven to be a lie.

Your story is immensely powerful, sad and tragic. Thanks for sharing
