[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 596360, member: 59"] Pam it is a process. It won't happen overnight and there is nothing anyone can say that will make you feel at peace immediately. Going to al-anon or families anonymous or nar-anon will help a great deal. Finding one specifically for parents is very helpful. I found a parents group through my difficult child's sober house, it's not al-anon, more of a discussion group. It has helped me tremendously. When I started going I cried through most of the meeting. I now find myself laughing with people who have become my extended family. It helps tremendously. Your son will get help when the pain of living like he is gets too much. Be open for the time when he reaches out for help but in the meantime take care of ourself. I know it's easier said than done, I've been there done that. I cried myself to sleep many nights and worried so much that I couldn't even function. I was working harder than she was at her recovery. There will come a time when you have peace, when you know you have done all you can and the rest is up to him. [/QUOTE]
