[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 754967, member: 22817"] Hello, your story sounds so much like mine. My son is now 25 and is still struggling so after many breakups, rehabs, outpatient, etc. He still insists on doing things HIS way and refuses to listen to any of the recommendations. Currently, he is very very depressed to the point I feel he may attempt suicide again. Problem is I live 1500 miles away from him. He is alone in a state with no family. I have no one to contact to check on him except the police which I have done 3 times already. He works a full time job and does well but I feel the company may soon start writing him up and he will lose this job. He has if for 3 years now and they have been supportive through everything with the FMLA and all. He likes his job but makes no attempt at reaching out to make friends. ISOLATION! is what he does best. He insists on finding a girlfriend all the time and when in a relationship treats them like crap because he spends all his money on booze/weed. He has his credit cards to the max and has medical bills due to many ER visits with his drinking. I am at a loss. If you ever want to chat, message me. My son and I used to be best buddies until about 8th grade when I noticed a change. He has zero self confidence and hates himself. I fear he will take his life but honestly we have done all we can.
