[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 550375"] Saunder, I too have been where you are. We also kicked our son out when he was 18 and at the time it was the hardest thing I had ever done and I felt heartbroken that it came to that. It was definitely the right thing to do. Since then I have had many more hardest things and heartbreaks with my difficult child. All I can say is it is a process to get to the place of detaching and finding ways to live your life and not focus on them. It does not happen overnight. I can't believe how much better I am doing now than I did a couple of years ago....even though I am not even sure where my son is right now. Sounds like you are doing all the right things... counseling for you and your husband is key. This board is a great source of support... and I would suggest also finding a good support group for parents... I found a great alanon group for parents that has also been a lifesaver for us. Knowing you are not alone is a huge help I think. TL [/QUOTE]
