[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 722683, member: 21895"] Indeed Leafy your quote is perfect. My son is finding life is pretty tough on his own. All the good time Charlie's who were so promoting him to "Screw his parents and leave home" have all let him down (of course we knew that would happen). To my surprise he is still going to school. Even though he now has to catch 2 buses to get there. He told me he has changed his entire friends group and does not do Xanax any more. Well it's a start but it has only been 2 weeks so let's give it a few more. He has asked to go for an intake interview at long term rehab and thankfully they kept his application open so I have arranged this. It just goes to show that letting go and getting out of their way is a very hard thing but it is the only thing that will help. Enabling status who just doesn't work. Lynn Although our situations are different; there are definitely similarities. Sometimes we need to detach and get out of their way. To say that you read. Thee are some excellent resource books to help you with this process. There is no step by step manual as every situation is different and unique. However the basics are the same. Stop enabling, detach and get out of their way. It is up to them to seek help and make themselves better. We can not do it for them. Oh how I wish love could cure all of this drug addiction and mental health issues. Is it could not a single one of us would be here. Here is the Link to the book I reccomend. There is also a work book. [MEDIA=amazon]id=0894864025;tld=ca[/MEDIA] Stay strong. You Re headed in a healthy direction. [/QUOTE]
