BBM, with all due respect what else would you expect this poor boy to do? In his head, right now, it might be easier for him to process this whole thing by at least thinking that something ELSE like a drug addiction caused his mother to do this to him.
Because who would ever want to have to admit to themselves, especially a child who doesn't have the experience or insight to realize, that their own mother is just sick enough without other outside influences to molest them?
I think it is a coping mechanism for him and God bless him, whatever he needs right now to deal with it....he should have it.
SleuthyMama, you misunderstood the meaning of that sentence. What I meant was I felt bad that he was trying to possibly defend his mother's actions. There is no defense. In all likelyhood, this young man still loves his mother despite what she did to him. It's hard to believe but abused children do sometimes still love their abusing parent and will try to defend them.
I too wish him all the help than he can get.
