[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 702400, member: 18516"] Welcome TCLark, I'm glad you found us in our little corner of the internet. It's never easy to come to grips with our adult children being out of control. I have been to h#ll and back with my son. There were times that I didn't think I could bear the pain of watching my sons life unravel before my eyes. I am proof that you can get through this. No, it's not easy but is possible. [USER=19617]@Kalahou[/USER] gave you the link to the article on detachment. It's so important to read it. Detaching does not mean that we no longer love our children it just means that we will no longer allow them to hold our emotions hostage. It's very freeing to detach from the chaos our adult difficult children bring to our lives. My son has been given so many chances and opportunities to turn his life around and yet he has chosen to live his life on his terms. I don't like it but I have come to accept it. You have taken an important step here in knowing that you can no longer carry his burdens. It takes time. Sometimes it's three steps forward and one step backward but you keep moving forward. You have a life to live and you deserve it to yourself to live the best life you can. You live your life and your son will live his life. You don't have to like his choices but they are "His". Stay close to this site and keep posting. Let us know how you are doing, we really care and we get it. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
