[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 517062, member: 13558"] It is so very hard!!! Yesterday I was taking things an hour at a time. Nothing major, just some days are harder to detach than others (as we all know very well)! I will not help mine any more and after the way him and girlie showed their immature a**es, when I start feeling like I have abandoned him I just remind myself what they did to me, his sister, and his friends. He has to do this for himself. Don't lose hope! I know 2 people that have amazing lives now and very really into drugs and alcohol for many years. One was living on the streets and was about 35 before he turned his life around. He was arrested for something and continued the out patient for years. If I didn't know of his prior situation I would not believe it! He is a role model parent and has a good job with an AA degree!! The other is a lady and almost lost her only child due to the drugs and alcohol. She now has a $200,000 a year job and a 4 year degree. She attended college at night while working. She did not receive any counseling and several of her friends died from drug overdoses!!! I love her dearly and I am so proud of her! Kids in their 20's don't think about the future. It's a hard time for most, but that doesn't excuse them. I think my difficult child started as self medicating and he was never really diagnosed with any mental issues but they are there, whether drug induced or not they drugs and alcohol have clouded his thinking so much. (((Prayers a hoping for peaceful visits for all))) [/QUOTE]
