[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 632116, member: 17461"] Annie, I was going through the same thing you are now, when my son was your son's age. I am sorry this is happening to you, Annie. The truth about both our situations is this: Our sons are grown men following a very wrong path. We have done everything we knew or could learn to help them turn their lives around and things have only gotten worse. Something has to change. We cannot control anyone else; we cannot force our children to change, or they would already be so changed as to be unrecognizable and neither of us would be here. So we have to change the only thing we can, Annie. Ourselves. We can change how we think about and respond to our sons, and that will change everything. If you haven't read the information on detachment at the top of the P.E. site Annie, please take a few minutes to do that. The thoughts and ideas there are a good place to begin. Cedar [/QUOTE]
