[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 687073, member: 19966"] Oh JM. I just now read your thread here. And, this one brought tears to my eyes. You sound much like me. My son has not always been so sweet, as yours sounds. Actually, I don't know 'how' he is, as a person. He's been using since ~14....the alcohol that he likes turns him in to a really mean person, he already, naturally, has a sarcastic & entitled tendency. My husband (his stepdad) is also a law enforcement officer. You sound like you are handling this very well. I have that book you speak of, and I really need to start reading it. I found a local Nar-Anon mtg and am trying that one tonight. I love my son so much, but have had trouble detaching. I did not really even know what it meant, detaching, until I found this site not long ago. So, I am a newbie at this. It is taking me some time, but I am [I][B]very[/B][/I] slowly getting better at it. I am appreciating the break that I have right now, as he entered, on his own, residential treatment a month ago. [B][COLOR=#b30059]I love your prayer[/COLOR][/B]: [I]"If they can't be sober, make it count. If we have to have this pain, make it count.
