[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 696190, member: 15801"] I listened to the book "Beyond Addiction" on Craft. To be honest I had mixed feelings about it. I found the book to be very repetitive. I also felt like when it talked about detachment it wasn't really talking about detachment with love like Alanon talks about but more of complete detachment. When I listened to it I did wish I had listened to you it when my son was younger and we were starting on this journey... it did make me wonder if I could have approached things differently..... which kind of sent me into a what if spiral which wasn't good. However I do think it made me think about the importance of connection and love and by staying connected to our kids we can help them.... but I came to the conclusion that only helps them if they truly want the help. But I have come to believe that with my son at least staying connected, providing some support will help him more than completely cutting him off. I know for some here that is what worked... but all kids are different and have different issues. I do believe boundaries are important. I really do not know what we would do if my son wanted to come back here and live. Neither my husband or I would want that but we are not facing that decision at the moment. [/QUOTE]
