[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 697848, member: 15832"] Yes. It's s time to put YOU and husband first. Not to be mean, or selfish about things. You love your son so much, but he is a young man now, and he has to learn to be independent. He has to learn to survive without you, and live a sober, self supporting lifestyle. And I feel this is likely to happen, because you and husband are on the same page. But it's not going to happen on your timeline, which is probably yesterday, like mine, lol. It will take months, it will take years. Because, in those 5 years he was medicating himself with the benzodiazepines, he has lost precious brain maturation time, and he will need time and therapy to get up to speed. And now because of all the stress our loved ones cause us, you have a cold sore and I have the shingles. Just great. (To catch everyone up, my son's Medicaid won't pay for their share of his expensive antidepressant anymore, long story, and I was really stressing out over this. But he's doing ok on the less expensive oral form. ) Have to add... your husband sounds like a keeper! [/QUOTE]
