[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 606970, member: 3305"] Maxiesoma, I understand your feelings your heartache. It is so difficult to remember that these are THEIR choices that have lead them to these consequences. Our mommy hearts want to fix and rescue...it's innate. We want to comfort them and solve their problems. However, everytime we "rescue" them from their choices we are teaching them the wrong message. We are not the Almighty. We cannot save them from themselves. They have to hit bottom and look for better answers outside their "best thinking". The only way they will reach out for real help is often through very painful consequences. Just last night, my own younger son told me that at least in prison he'd have 3 squares and sober living. So sad that THAT is where he may end up again in order to stay away from drugs and alcohol. I'm sorry you are in anguish over your son's choices...but it is necessary for him to own his choices and consequences. I know we feel it too. I hope your son gets the help he needs soon. with care, LMS [/QUOTE]
