[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727278, member: 1550"] One other imortant thought. Whatever it is YOU can't fix it/make it better You are not the offender, you didn't cause it, you can't cure it. You can pay a million bucks to rescue him and he is in a drug head and will not appreciate it and will not stop unless he truly wants to. And that usually happens after serious consequences that they can no longer stand, perhaps prison. They don't do it for our sakes. I find it helps more not to focus on why or what, just stay mindful in the moment and practice taking care of yourself first. It's a hard concept to grasp at first, but if we don't take care of ourselves, we are useless to both our other loved ones, us, and you cant make good decisions about your son if you apply your wants and needs to his and then panic.
