[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 650474, member: 15801"] A couple of quick thoughts.... one thing that amazed me when my son was in jail... he quickly figured out the "jailhouse" rules and followed them. He has had trouble with rules all his life but in jail he did what he needed to do to survive. The other thing is that at some point along this long and arduous journey I consiously realized that that I was not going to let my son and his stuff ruin my life!! That meaant I had to figure out how to take care of me and live my life no matter what he was doing. That realization was a turning point for me. I dont think most parents, with normally functioning, not addict kids have to make this consious choice... but we do. [/QUOTE]
