[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 749201, member: 22817"] Thank you for sharing your story and to all of you who wrote. I have gained so much in reading every response. My son is 24 1/2 and if he keeps traveling the road of alcohol abuse/weed, he will lose his apartment and face eviction as well. I think of that often. What will happen to his things, etc. Will he finally break down and call us asking for help... We have been on this road for quite a few years, this last one was more intense. I know one thing for sure and that is God has been with us every step of the way. Between sending signs and planting people in my son's path to catch his attention just for a moment where he stops and thinks "wow, what are the chances of that happening?" God has saved him numerous times from situations that could have been fatal but he didn't have a scratch. I know God is trying to reach him. When my son will allow God in, I am not sure. I do feel when that happens, my son will turn around. Like others have said, I cry somedays mourning my son who is still alive. I want to be able to pick up the phone and just talk to him without watching every word. I want him to care about what is going on in our lives. Instead, he lives in his own world thinking that we are horrible parents because we stopped enabling. Not sure if he will ever come around, I pray he does. My dad had a mild heart attack 2 weeks ago. I know he just wants to live long enough to see his grandson sober and back to the young man he used to know and love. [/QUOTE]
