[QUOTE="Nature, post: 730497, member: 19011"] My son is now 31. He's been doing this since he was 16 but had successfully recovered for 3 years, relapsed at 19, recovered and then relapsed again at 21 and has not been clean since. The situation escalated when he contracted meningitus on his 21st birthday which caused further brain damage. He's way too old for me to be expecting his Mama to help him out of every situation or help for his bad choices. Logically I know this, emotionally I've fallen back into the state I was in before. Previously, I had no spoken to him in a year. Thank you all who responded as I'm trying to get back to the person I became where I set boundaries and was able to say No without feeling guilty. I appreciate each of you for taking the time to write advice and notes of encouragement. [/QUOTE]
