[QUOTE="Star*, post: 347593, member: 4964"] Narcanon is excellent. I learned MORE from sitting in a room full of former drug addicts about how they think, what they could do, how they manipulated and that they WERE CONSCIENCE of the fact that they were okay doing it - than I did anywhere else, except for living with my x. I think Marg has a very good point. Once you find out that there are others who ARE like this, that they exist, and your son isn't really the only one? It takes a little bit of the uniqueness and OMG shock value out of the equation for you. You go from feeling like no one else in the world has a son that would say I HATE YOU DIE...to "You too? And WORSE? Oh dear, now I don't feel so bad." because there is always someone worse off than you out there that will (sadly sadly sadly) make you feel better about your situation and actually give you a glimmer of hope. You'll also find out ~ it's quite okay to have hope. Also - WHATEVER you decide? Whether it's to take him a sack full of groceries, or just take him a few essentials, to giving him nothing at all. It's okay. There really isn't a right or a wrong here. There's at best some sketchy guidelines, a follow your heart unwritten Mom's log, and a friends hindsight advice warning - but in the end? It's what YOU are comfortable with and what YOU can live with when your head hits the pillow at night. He is your son, not mine. I've made plenty of mistakes and will for the rest of my life I'm sure. I'm just thankful for the friends I have here that say OHHHHHH I will spank you...and then do when I don't listen or say Atta girl when I do and something finally works out.
