[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 704495, member: 15032"] Welcome and sorry you have to be here. I have been down this road since my son was age 15 and as you can see by my signature, it ended in us having to move him out of our home permanently. Our son did not want to change, would say he wanted help and do good for a while but he'd always go back to his old ways and raise hell in our home. He was coming in between my husband (his dad) and myself also. Addiction is very powerful. Feeling sorry for them is not good. It does not help them at all. I had to learn that. I also see a therapist now for myself to learn how to have healthy boundaries with our son. I did not see him for seven months and then did see him at Thanksgiving. We are flying down for Christmas also. Our relationship is no longer close but I'm okay with that. I have not seen a big change in him and until I do, I will protect my heart. We both love our son to the moon and back. You cannot parent a child like this the way you parent other children. It does not work. Keep posting. You are in the right place. [/QUOTE]
