[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 711156, member: 20054"] Hi Hockeymom. So sorry you are in this...many of us have been where you seem to be. Please read the article on detachment at the top of parent emeritus forum. ...or 8, or 10, or 20 years... Try to set some boundaries now, it will give you a little piece of control and help him to see you mean business. He, even at the young age of 19, is playing you, playing the way the world works. It seems disrespectful to him for you to let him believe this is how a person can treat others...and it hurts you so much, doesn't it? To live without responsibility for his actions while you support him is unacceptable. Would you take this treatment from anyone else? Of course not. You also have a daughter in the house to protect. We can have expectations but they are just OUR pipe dreams without consequences. Drugs change who our sons are at their core. I hurt for you this morning, it is beyond painful, especially as they ramp it up to keep this lifestyle going. They seem not to care who they hurt along the way. I know your heart is breaking. Hugs to you today, hold tight. You will get through this. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
