[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 727304, member: 15032"] Hi Lost Your post makes me feel exhausted. I think you have to take a giant step back from your son and his drama. You have a life to lead and a husband and a daughter that need you. I know how hard this is but you have to stop rescuing your son. I know he is young but you have to try to let him figure this out. We all know this is a process for us as mothers and we can only do what we can do. I don't know how long your son has been drugging but mine started at 15 so by the time he was 19 I was wiped out mentally and physically. My son had many rehab stints, counseling etc. in that time but nothing really changed him. I was running circles around him trying to FIX HIM. Similar to what you are doing. It didn't work. He also would stay sober many months at a time so we always thought that was the end of his phase but then he'd start up again. Hard to even know what you're dealing with. I did not know anyone else dealing with this....until I found this forum. My husband always says misery loves company but there is more to it than that. We want to feel that we are not some type of freak family and that others have made it through to the other side of this madness. We want to find a shortcut to ease our pain. I have not yet found that. You really truly have to take care of yourself in all of this. Like someone else said we are debilitated by their life choices and to them it's just another Tuesday.
