[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 80619, member: 2389"] Susan ~ When I was so entertwined with my son it helped me to see myself as the addict. I was very much addicted to 'fixing' my son. Just like it was said above, each failed attempt at 'fixing' him made me feel that much more as a failure of a mom. I had to hit my rock bottom fixing him just like he had to hit his rock bottom with his actions and using. We are all different. We have different circumstances in our lives that make us react to things differently. My easy child gave me strentgh to stand strong against my son's drug use. The day she told me he had brought drugs home was enough for me to say get out. My easy child is trying her best to live a normal life in the shadow of her brother, she deserved to have a safe happy home. She also deserved to have a mom that wasn't consumed by her emotions 23 hrs out of the day. My difficult child was the one causing the chaos. It was not fair to me,husband or easy child to put up with his destructive choices. I was very much the addict, but with the help of prayers and this board I learned to let go and let GOD. I want you to also know that I saw no desire in my difficult child to change until I totally let him sink on his own (((((((HUGS)))))) Traci [/QUOTE]
