[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 368473, member: 1157"] Welcome to the board! I'm sorry you're going through this right now. Having a child who abuses alcohol or drugs is very difficult. I understand getting to the point where you are "done." Many of us have found great comfort in the halls of Al-Anon or Nar-Anon groups, which can be a great support. Doling out his Adderal is a tricky thing. I tried doling out pain pills with Oldest, but honestly, it only gave her something else for which to resent me and actually gave her another reason to "need" them (in her warped sense of justification, of course) She find more "creative" ways to get them (i.e., stealing them). In the end I decided it was just another form of enabling. If she was going to abuse the drugs, she wasn't going to get any assistance from me, including me trying to control her intake of them. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
