[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 505430"] Tired, No wonder you are tired, you have been going through this a long time. I feel tired of all of what I have been going through and my son is only 20 so you have many years on me. I really feel for you because it is so hard to continually worry and wonder what you can do. As long as you are there to help pick up the pieces he will not figure it out on his own.... so I do think it is time to let things fall where they may and let him figure it out for himself. If you haven't already i hope you can find a good parents alanon group. I have found this immensely helpful in the last year. Interestingly the guy I talked to at the possible sober house yesterday asked me two questions... one was could I say no to my son (yes) and did I go to alanon. When I said yes he commended me and said that is what I needed to do. As they say in alanon and I have come to really believe this... you didn't cause it, you cant cure it and you cant control it. I have to keep reminding myself of that. TL [/QUOTE]
