[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 748852, member: 15801"] Hi Lisa, Good description a hard rock to carry. When my son was 19 he was in jail and we thought that was the worst thing a parent could go through... it is what finally got me to go to al-anon and find this site. That was 8 years ago. After that my son was homeless a couple of different times, once in Denver in the middle of winter. And that was the hardest time for me on this journey. As you say a hard rock to carry daily. The next time he went to jail we were glad...literally relieved because then at least we knew he was relatively safe, had a place to sleep and food to eat. How nutty to be glad your kid is in jail. Now my son is doing somewhat better....although I wouldnt say he is free and clear of his issues including substance abuse but he is doing better. More importantly I am doing better at living my life and not obsessing over what is going on with him. TL [/QUOTE]
