[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 615692, member: 17503"] You might be surprised to hear that I'm an ACOA and know that book well...;-)...(and ALANON).. I have been enabling too much, first to make it to his 18th birthday (a year ago) and graduation, and now in excusing his stuff in hopes he'd turn things around...thanks for the advice...I've had a hard time finding local support groups but haven't looked in awhile...yesterday, I gave him 2 options-- to go into a treatment center (30 days at least) so we could finally get a good diagnosis or to move out...he picked moving out of course and the raging email today was to tell me how I'm so wrong about him having something wrong with him...I realize he has to accept that for himself and be tough (hold the line) but geez, this is so hard...he's my only child...makes me feel like such a failure as a mom (I know I'm not but it's hard not to feel that way-- and having my parents back him doesn't help) [/QUOTE]
