[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 626589, member: 59"] For me I did have to mourn losing my daughter. I had to face the fact that she might die. In my head I planned her funeral. I know that sounds awful but it was the only way I could survive. I had to face the worst possible outcome before I could move forward. You son is very young and yes there is a lot of hope. At 18 I was thinking my daughter would die. She is almost 23 now and is very muc alive. She is struggling financially due to all the mistakes she made along the way, but she is working and being responsible and that is more than I ever hoped for back then. My best advice is to find a support group of other parents struggling through addiction and do whatever you need to in order to take care of yourself. Support your son when he is doing what he should and don't support him when he isn't. I am sorry this is a difficult time for you. I certainly understand and have been there. [/QUOTE]
