[QUOTE="KFld, post: 50923, member: 2442"] In answer to your question of how you learn to live your own life, without them sucking the life out of you every minute, that is a tough one. Your son is only 16, so the option of kicking him out and allowing him to make his own choices like we had to do with ours, is not an option for you right now. I was consumed for many years between the adhd and then moving into the drug use, and it wasn't until he was old enough and I could have him leave and got myself very involved in alanon, did I learn to live my own life. You may not be able to step back yet, but it's important that you find time to do some positive things for yourself as you are going through all of this. He is at the age where some of the things you try could work, so don't give up hope. No matter how bad it ever gets, don't ever give up hope. And most important, serenity prayer, serenity prayer, serenity prayer!! [/QUOTE]
