[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 414146"] Nancy and Patriotsgirl, I feel so much for you both. My son is so similar... the anger, the out of control behavior and this wish and need for freedom with no clue how to really be a responsible adult. He is currently in a better place than your two kids and I really hope he stays there. Yet it is so easy for me to imagine being where you are because I have been there. Stay strong.... it doesn't help them at all to give in to their neediness and wish for your help when they are still using drugs. You are both doing great and being clear where you will help (if they are willing to do what it takes to get sober) and where you won't help (enable them to keep using). Stay strong you are doing the right thing. And keep finding ways to take care of yourselves and to distract yourself from thinking about them and what they may or may not be doing. [/QUOTE]
