[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 740524, member: 15032"] Hi My son's issues over all these years has really forced me to be more spiritual and look to my higher power. I knew this was more than I could understand or take on and I had to look for wisdom, comfort and peace for myself and realize that my son is an individual and this is HIS journey and I cannot stand in his way of his choices. We taught him right from wrong and he kept choosing the wrong path time and time again. We'd get him straightened out, I'd deep clean his room, buy new sheets and comforter (fresh start but that made me feel better) every time he got out of rehab. Of course, in time he went back to his drug using ways. Couldn't hold a job, couldn't do anything, couldn't live like a normal person. I had to find a way to cope on my own because it was destroying me. Me being destroyed was not helping him either. I would have cut off my arm to fix him. What I'm saying is that I had to turn my fear and pain over to God and just pray that he would guide him out of the mess he was in before it was too late. He has now been in a Christian based program for 12 months and will be coming back to live with us in November. He has changed and grown and says he is ready to live a normal life. Nothing else worked for him. I think his soul was broken but I don't know why. I wanted to give him the opportunity to see if this is what he needed and it was thankfully. [/QUOTE]
