[QUOTE="KFld, post: 25146, member: 2442"] I am proof that there is a life beyond difficult child!! When you are in the middle of living it, it doesn't seem possible. Your posts bring me back to the summer of 2005 when we first discovered difficult child was a heroin addict and I get knots in my stomach just remembering how I felt each and everday. I used to come to work in a daze, drive in a daze and every part of my day, in the back of my mind, was always the thought that my son is a drug addict and how could this have happened and how was I going to survive it. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I woke up in the morning, the last thing I thought about when I went to bed at night, and what I would think about if I woke up during the night, which was quite often at that point. I got myself to alanon, I learned how to detatch, I totally stopped enabling, and though it didn't happen overnight, I did get my life back. difficult child and I now have a wonderful relationship, he will never live home again, and my home is peaceful. We have both gained so much from it. You can do it!!! It takes a lot of strength, but it is so worth it. I will never live that way again. [/QUOTE]
