[QUOTE="wisernow, post: 723095, member: 20373"] I am so sorry that you are going through this very painful time. All of us here at this board understand. Please read the article on detachment on this board, and keep reading it every day. It is very very difficult, but you will find, that as you change, he too will be forced to change. It may not happen overnight letting him go will force him to face up to his own choices and the resulting consequences. I thought with enough love, money, faith, I could fix everything for my difficult son. Not to be. the more I gave the more he took. Looking back I now realize that I assumed he was operating from the same core values as myself. I gave my heart and soul, my bank card, all of it because I am someone who doesn't like to lose. But my giving destroyed me, my family, my marriage. I landed from that awful life with a thud. But that thud woke me up. Your son is a grown man . Please back away and protect yourself, your marriage and your daughter. Your son will come around if and when he is ready to. Like many others have already suggested focus the energy back on yourself right now. HugsXOXO [/QUOTE]
