[QUOTE="missy44, post: 316120, member: 6201"] Hi all, I always hope that I have something positive to contribute, but that's not the case this time. difficult child is still out of the home (and that's not going to change). He is using and selling drugs again. He admits to using pot, so I know that there is more involved, and he doesn't admit to selling (he thinks that selling for someone else, to your friends isn't selling). He quit his jobs (yes he had 2) and he quit school. He owes numerous people large amounts of money and he's very depressed about his life. He has stopped by a few times to pick up clothes, etc... and each time I would bet my life he was on something. I told him if he wants help he knows what to do. He's saying that he is going to Alberta to live with his dad, I hope this happens, but have made it clear to my ex that this isn't something he can fix. If difficult child goes out there he still needs some type of programme. My husband and I are still going to Alanon (not enough though), it seems we have a reached a point where we know there is nothing we can do. We are enjoying our other children and trying to live a normal life without difficult child. We're still here for him when he is ready for "serious" intervention, unitl then, we're moving on. I still suffer and wonder if I have done everything that a mother should do. I think that's normal... I've been reading many posts and have not felt strong or qualified to offer any help. I want to help others on this board as others have helped me. Take care, Missy [/QUOTE]
