[QUOTE="KFld, post: 411874, member: 2442"] The problem is I know all of this and when I went through this when he was 18 I was able to work it all and detatch and go to sleep at night and for some reason I can't get around all that right now. Maybe because when he was younger I thought, he's only 18 and has so many years ahead of him to work through this and get it right, and 6 years later he still didn't get it. My best friend and I are going to attend the parent meeting in our area next Monday night and see how it goes. Ironically we both have 24 year old sons going through the same thing. We both attended years back and found it to be very clicky and I learned to take the lessons from it and I was able to use the tools I had learned without the meetings and I did good :) there are other alanon meetings around our area, but not parent ones and even though we didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling, attending a group with a room full of parents experiencing the same thing as you is so much different then a non parent one, so we are hoping maybe there are different people there now and we will feel more welcome. Maybe I need to find a good counselor, but it would have to be someone who understands addiction. [/QUOTE]
