[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 471113"] I agree...going to something like Al Anon or Families Anonymous is likely to be of great benefit to you. I have a friend who went regularly and it made a huge difference for her. We only went to a few meetings of FA and found it to be very helpful...even though substance abuse was not a big problem in our particular case. We still found the information very useful and helpful. The other day I heard someone say that sometimes moms who are stuck trying to help their adult kids are like farmers trying to grow vegetables in a the desert. Best to accept that you can't fix this situation. Hopefully, your adult child will make a personal decision that he needs help, stop blaming others, get the help he needs, be responsible and appropriate and move forward. YOu've done what you can, you simply can't do what's impossible. The ball needs to be in his court. [/QUOTE]
