[QUOTE="JMom, post: 757637, member: 19892"] Helpless, One thing that helped me was when a friend asked me to look at my son's behavior and ask myself "If this were a stranger, would I let them treat me like this, live in my house, affect my marriage, put my kids with them or try to solve their problems for them? If the answer is no, then consider where your priorities lie. A lot of times my priority was to feel batter, to remove the guilt. Unfortunately, I have a lot of regrets as my husband and other children have been greatly affected and not I have guilt for that and jump into problem solving for them. Luckily, they let me off the hook and dealt with their own issues. They were capable of that because they didn't have drug abuse problems like my son did. I hope this helps, sometimes you just have to do what you can, but I might take a vote from the husband and kids. If you're outnumbered, please reconsider. These are just my perspective, take what id helpful and leave the rest. Take care of yourself, your family needs you to be healthy and well. Love, JMOM [/QUOTE]
