[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 749733, member: 15032"] Today they are checking on brain activity. Still in a holding pattern. I guess removing someone from life support takes many many steps which I'm sure is a good thing but agonizing for a parent. She has a boyfriend and some friends but has never had any training or therapy on addiction and boundaries or detachment so I fear this is going to be very difficult for her. She chose not to deal with her son's addiction and educate herself which to me is self preservation. I was probably her biggest source of support and information and I am far away. I led her to this site some time ago but she could not handle it; reading about what everyone was dealing with was too much. Al-anon she also did not embrace. [/QUOTE]
