[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 662771, member: 17542"] Hi Ms. Kay, I wanted to chime in and tell you we understand how awful and hard this is. Most of us have been right where you are. In my case, I lost my 29-year marriage to alcoholism, and within a year of my now ex-husband moving out my youngest son was completely off the rails at age 19 due to his own substance abuse (alcohol and pills). We are here to support you. We want to help you process your feelings about what you are living with, and then, when you are ready, help you identify possible actions and options that are best for you and for your son. It is exhausting and terrifying dealing with all of this day after day. You have to start taking good care of yourself, being kind and gentle to yourself, and working to let go of as much of what other adults decide to do as you possibly can. We can only control ourselves and decide what we can and cannot tolerate. We're here of you. Warm hugs today. [/QUOTE]
