[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 728423, member: 13542"] It's time to change the locks. It's difficult to me to recall your information. (it'd be helpful if you put a signature at the end of your post so we could recall your story and better support you) These may all be things you already know, so forgive me if I am repeating..... It may be prudent for you to attend Al Anon, Narc Anon or Families Anonymous. Many parents here find solace in these 12 step groups. It may also be helpful for you to look into private therapy with someone versed in addiction so you WILL have someone to talk to, vent to, be guided and supported by and find ways to effectively navigate this very difficult terrain. Reading the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here may be helpful. Your son is the only one who can stop his addiction, you are powerless. You have no control over his life whether he lives with you or not. I encourage you to seek support in some fashion before you make any decisions about whether your son lives with you or not.....you seem to be at an important juncture.... [/QUOTE]
