Well, I am back, unfortunately. My son came back home 3 years ago, went back to college and is now 5 classes (one semester) away from a business degree in Supply Chain/Logistics with a 3.8 GPA. He has lived with my 92 year old mother in law with dementia for the past year a few miles down the road from...

Haven't been on here in a few weeks. Our family, son included, took a trip to meet my husband's biological mother. It went well it was a short trip except my son got drunk and skipped one of the 2 days of vacation to stay in bed. That was embarrassing but no one seemed to take note, he didn't...

Son came over around 9:30 last night (was supposed to be earlier but never showed) with some girl to do his laundry. He hung out in the backyard with my daughter and boyfriend. I didn't like this they were smoking cigarettes which we despise - but apparently they were drinking too or had been...

Well, Difficult Child decided to take us up on our offer to take him to dinner on his 22nd birthday Monday. He picked a very expensive sushi restaurant across town, so it was quite a bit out of our comfort zone, both in time, distance and money. I had offered to cook for him because in the last...

Sorry guys if this question has been asked. My son is out of the home but has been talking about ways to get out of his situation with drugs/friends. The last time this happened I promised him rehab but when I applied to the only one our insurance covered, I told 'everything' the whole gory...

I hadn't heard from him in about 5 days and for the month and a half that he's been out of the home, that is the longest. I can locate his phone so I know he is primarily staying on one couch and has gotten a job from the guy living there. But I started worrying nonetheless. I texted 'You...

I met son for lunch on Saturday and it didn't go very well. We kicked him out 2 weeks ago because he threatened my husband when we approached him about quitting his job and making his (cosigned) car payment. He had been blowing my phone up saying he was tired of texting and that he wanted to...

I'm back here for support. We went thru a lot of bad times in 2017, but he finally ended up coming back and got a job busing tables last July, bought a couple of cars (the first one got totalled not his fault), and finished two college classes in this past spring semester and got an A and a B...

I've been thinking how can I detach from my son, how can I kick this kid out who abuses me, destroys my property but has major abandonment issues. Then I think of his friends who are forced to scrape by, live in crap-holes, eat crap-food and how he idolizes them. I wonder where are their...

Son was arrested in February but let him go I think he gave some names. Court date for that in September. Arrested again last night, possession and intent to deliver counterfeit drugs. He was transferred to the county jail. Found out by doing a google search. We finally found his car and...

My son has come up with some idea to go to Mexico for Ibogaine treatment for addiction. I did a search on the forum but nothing came up. Has anyone heard of this? It's some kind of psychedelic drug. Believe me, I have no intention of encouraging, sponsoring or aiding this trip, but he is an...

My son came home last night ready to go to rehab. Currently in the middle of all the calls/application processes I'm sure some of you know quite well. This will be his first time in substance abuse treatment, he had a mental hospital stay in 2014. He is 'only' 20. I know the odds are against...

So about a year and a half ago, when my son was relatively stable, we planned a trip to Jamaica for this May. My newly divorced brother is going with us, we are renting a house in a secluded area. It's all my 17 year old daughter talks about. Everything is paid for and nonrefundable unless...

Please help me with this. We kicked my son out almost 6 weeks ago. He had somewhere to stay but that has dried up and things are getting dicey. My husband let my son in last night to do laundry with a specific time to be gone. I was against letting him in. We couldn't get him to leave. Yes, he...

Yesterday after work I was paying some bills and noticed some charges my son(A) put on his cell phone. I was in a chat to try to cancel some subscription he had signed up for, and the lady was just not getting it so I was frustrated. husband walks in and sees me frustrated and immediately calls my...

I wonder how many threads are started with that title? We kicked our son out a few weeks ago and he was arrested Saturday night. I'm not sure what any of it is about I think it's a misdemeanor charge and he wasn't held on bail. He makes absolutely no sense and came over talking about how the...

I posted a few times here about my (then 17 year old son). He is now 19. Long story short, he has had several juvenile charges, a hospitalization and has gotten violent with my husband, problems with drugs. Problems started when he was about 12. I have another child (daughter 16) who has no...

Well, I haven't been here in a few months, didn't really feel like I 'belonged' until he turned 18. Your advice has helped me tremendously and I've been reading on everyone's stories and trying to keep up. The last time I talked in May, we were about to go on a family vacation. That went...

It's been a bad day all day. difficult child arrested for pot at the park behind our house. I noticed them towing his friends car and of course I knew. husband has gone to pick him up, they've set yet another juvie court date... Sigh..,, Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app

- in doing the wrong things! After reading the article on detachment and other posts here, I have had a moment of clarity. And here I've been thinking he was incompetent and helpless and would starve or freeze to death without us poking and prodding! Maybe I'm deluding myself with some...
