[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 658514, member: 1550"] A lot of posters here have found solace in Al-Anon. Hugs and hope your son decides to both stop abusing drugs again and to seek out mental health services. I recently saw a documentary about how the new mental health hospitals are jails and prisons. Sad, I know, but it has become true. Try to find some peace and me-time today. Taking mental breaks, once you learn how, really help us stay healthy ourselves. The ways I use are meditation, exercising, or just reading a funny book. Others have other ways to de-stress...crocheting, gardening, whatever you love to do that is only about YOU...whatever relaxes you. I have come to really appreciate classical music and often play it in the background. I tend to agree with COM that you won't know if he has any mental illness, or if they are secondary to his drug use, until he quits and is clean for a while. Time and patience. Often our Difficult Child improve as they mature. There is hope. [/QUOTE]
