[QUOTE="KFld, post: 411798, member: 2442"] It hurts because he is your child and all the hopes and dreams you had for him have been shattered. It's like a death! My 24 year old son hasn't lived home since he was 18. He is a heroin addict and at 18 was robbing us blind. He had been arrested, the court sent him to a court ordered rehab and from there he moved to a sober house and he stayed clean for quite some time. He has recently relapsed and right now I am helping him because he seems to really be trying, but I can't sleep at night because I'm terrified that something huge is going to happen and he's going to stop trying and then I have to detatch all over again. I guess I've always been fortunate enough that my son always seems to want the help before he gets to close to the bottom, so I haven't had to experience not knowing where he was or knowing he's living on the streets. I feel for all of you who live like that because I don't know how I would handle it. He's 24, he's my son and what he has done to his life just kills me. What your feeling is normal. You feel it because you are a mom :) It's called unconditional love. You can hate their actions and the choices they have made, but your heart will always love them. [/QUOTE]
