[QUOTE="Gna, post: 762856, member: 30141"] Hi Lori. I’m glad you and your family are doing better. Last time I saw my son, he reminded me that I forced him to start college when couple of his friends died of drug use. After years of crazy stuff, I pushed my husband to help enroll him in a military program for at risk youth to finish high school and now help us make the call to give our son the ultimatum to follow rules or leave. I’ve seen my parents deal with an out of hand brother who still lives with them but is more stable now. My son told me the other day, pot isn’t bad, ADD medications are. His self medication has led to mood swings, outbursts, huge stress in the house. I also apologized for kicking him out because of course I thought it would make things better but he said it can’t be fixed with an apology and then proceed to list how I’ve grounded him many times. I have to stop being reeled into blame games. But I think last night was the first time I slept thru the night. And I’m finally almost fully concentrating at work. Maybe the thought that no matter what we say, he still needs to figure it out.. and we need to work on ourselves.. is calming me down. Just got the SESH book and will be starting meditations.. It’s not feeling like we’re living thru one shitty event after another. Thank you and the others for the encouragement… Take care! [/QUOTE]
