[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 743818, member: 1550"] Your other boys are doing well. This is not on you. This is on him. Some struggling adults have a hard time due to disabilities untreated and some just make poor choices causing their own problems. We didnt teach them to not work or take drugs or break the law. Copa is so right. Take care of YOU. And let him take care of himself. After a certain age these adult kids are picking their own poison and it has nothing to do with us, their childhoods, how long we try to help them, or anything/anyone but them alone. And only they can decide to do the hard work to get out of the mess they find themselves in. RN's son had been in many rehabs until he finally decided to change his life. His parents were great support, as you would be if you could see your son changing his mindset for the good. In the end, although RN was fantastic, her son alone made good decisions and changed. And what a change! I have been on this board forever. RN's son is just the latest example of a man on a rocky path who turned it all around. And I have seen many stories like his. Troubled people change every single day, every minute. Your son is not this way because of you. Never ever blame anything you do to try to help. You are not causing this! Your son holds the power to change his life. But loving him a lot and worrying about him did NOT hold him back. He is the one doing that...and I have read about very hardcore adults turning around. So dont blame you and no matter how bleak it seems now, never give up hope. The sun can and does break through the darkest of clouds. Dont think it cant happen. Love and light!! [/QUOTE]
