[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 608462, member: 13542"] Princess, there will be other parents along who are better equipped to talk to you about the substance abuse and the facility your son is in. I just wanted you to know I read your post and I understand completely how you are feeling. It is terrific when they are cared for and safe, we can breathe a sigh of relief and relax in ways we can't when they are living with us. My advice is always to find ways to support yourself, your own therapy, your own support groups, 12 step groups, NAMI, National Alliance on Mental Illness since your son has anxiety and depression issues too (they have great parent courses which give you tools and understanding). We need to feel cared for and taken care of as we go through whatever detachment process our kids insist we face. However you slice it, you are in this movie with your son and it makes sense to learn the ropes as best you can...............and get as much support as you can........ I hope your son stays clean. If he doesn't there are many parents here who can offer you advice, support and empathy because they have been in your shoes. Keep posting, it helps. I wish you peace. Hang in there....... [/QUOTE]
