[QUOTE="enablernomore, post: 513826, member: 14122"] Hi Nancy, I have never posted to a website before so am not sure if I am supposed to reply to each of you or if this will go to the group to see. Also, what does difficult child stand for? I understand it's how I refer to my almost 21 year old son. I have heard such wonderful things about the alanon meetings and will look to find one. I will also look for a coda meeting as well. I'm reading very good books about letting go and not enabling and it's helpful. I just can't believe this is happening. After everything we went through to get him out of that black hole, that he would risk going back there. Like someone else said hopefully the psychiatrist will be able to explain the dangers of smoking pot but I am scared he will get up and walk out of the appointment. If he does that, I don't know what I'll do. I guess between the support from all of you, an alanon group, and my faith, I will get stronger and learn what I need to do to survive. For now, however, I find myself scared, shaky and tearful. The thing is I have two other children, one older and one younger and still at home and a husband who need me. I know that I cannot let my difficult child's bad decisions and habits rob me of my happiness and health so as hard as the thought of detachment is, I understand the concept. Thank you again for being here for me. I will continue to post. [/QUOTE]
