    I lost my youngest son in 2014 at the age of 20. My husband and I have been dealing with our oldest son being a drug addict for the last 15 years. In July 2020, my son killed both of my parents.

I have been unable to talk with my son since this. My husband talks with him several times a week. Sometimes I feel betrayed by this, I try to respect his right to maintain relationship with our son.
