[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 695043, member: 19887"] This is such a hard road when our kids are struggling. I know that fear. I think finding a therapist for you is a good step. My husband and I went to one together when things were getting scary for us. We needed it to find a way to reconnect as our own fears were pushing us apart. We are pretty good now, learning to let go. Easier since son is moved out and appears sober.... I say appears since I will never really feel 100% sure. The other night he needed the car his brother and him share for work... It was after nine and I was very suspicious . So I asked him why he would need a car at night... He texted back " IM NOT DEALING" Do I believe him? Yes and No. I want to. Even so, we are moving forward and doing what we need to. No more financial support, no more pressure from us about university.... Etc... Takes time and I soooooo remember that feeling of panic and fear around his drug use. It's still there sometimes, but I'm learning. Hang in there, take deep breaths, and keep putting one foot in front of the other... You will get there. Hugs....C [/QUOTE]
