[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 498444"] Welcome WP..... hugs. It is a tough tough road and it is really hard to detach and really hard to set the limits you need to to have him face up to his own actions. So yes you have found the right place as many of us have been there or are there still. I have found an alanon parents group that has been really helpful along with this board. I really don't think I could have been as strong or as clear this week if I hadn't been going to Alanon. So I would try going again... and if you can find a parents group that would be even better. I think being a parent of a drug addict or alcoholic is a little different than being a partner of one. It really helps to meet others who have been through what you have been through. And it is so sad to see the wasted potential but he is still young... and if you can let him reach bottom now he still has a chance of really turning his life around and living to his potential.
