[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 643079, member: 15801"] We have been through a lot with our son....many rehabs, court dates, some jail time etc. the whole process was very hard on us of course. At some point I realized I had to live my life, learn to enjoy my life in spite of what he was doing. I have absolutely no coco troll over him or his future. So that is your first step, find ways to take care of you, do things you enjoy doing, live your life. My so left the state with a new girlfriend several months ago to avoid a warrant. He actually seems to be doing ok....at least he has not gotten into any trouble. He calls us when he needs something and we have helped him out some with very specific things. I am in a different place. I can tell from what he posts on FB that he is drinking and probably smoking pot....but I don't comment or ask him any questions about it any more. I don't ask him about recovery or meetings. Basically I have come to realize that is his journey and he has to figure out what works and doesn't work in his life. I think eventually drinking and drugs will get in his way but I can't do anything about that....so for now I just try and have a good relationship with him. TL [/QUOTE]
