I agree -- and we've been through it with our kids -- including friend's OD's, fatal traffic accidents while under the influence, suicides and other tragedies.
If a parent doesn't offer some guidance, they're taken to task for being bad parents.
There's no winning here.
It's interesting now that our "problem child" who "experimented with 'casual'" drugs and finally realized whe was killing herself and went through a thankfully successful rehab looks back now and says, "Dad, most of what you and mom told me turned out to be true, even thought I didn't believe it at the time."
