[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 587655, member: 13558"] JFK, I'm not trying to make light of the emotional pain for you.................... I think as caring parents we always think of keeping our children safe, warm, and fed. Now that my difficult child is almost 35yo I still worry about him. Now that he has gone NC I have days that are difficult to do anything, and I have others that are very peaceful. I make myself go to the gym and I meditate. Each morning I give thanks for the positive in my life and I ask for peace, guidance, and help for my son. My trip started first with my husband, and my son started very early. Looking back I feel as if I have been involved in this nightmare my entire life. It is the hardest when our children are young and we are still trying to force them in the right direction. My difficult child appears to simply not learn from his mistakes, and it is always someone elses fault. The girl (38) he is with now is just like him, maybe worse, and she has caused even more problems. I have had to call the police to stop her harrassment and she tells him (and his sister) that I do not love him, and never have, or I would be sending money. I have spent so much money trying to help my son and in my opinion he is worse now than ever. My son was conning me for money for at least 4 months, saying he was homeless and needed money for food. I found out from a policeman that it was all a lie. He was still with girlie and they were using my money for alcohol and drugs. All the time I am going to bed each night worrying about my son living on the streets in winter he was having a very good time. More drama and she is in jail and after that period he was actually homeless and livng in the woods, he didn't want to go to a homeless shelter. I helped him again and months later he was back with her. They play us and we let them. My son threatens suicide and he cuts himself, one day he may actually kill himself whether intended or not. It breaks my heart that I can not force him to get treatment and help himself. My difficult child continues to make really bad choices. You can not make your son do anything and watching them make serious mistakes is hard. Step back and take care of you, easy child, and hubby. You are very welcome, this forum has helped me through dark days and helped me to have the strength to say NO. I see so many drug and alcohol related problems now - I'm not sure if we have more, or I am just more aware of them. Chamomile tea is wonderful and I have just started drinking Hawthorne tea. Do not drink the Hawthorne if you are taking BiPolar (BP) medications. I hope you are able to relax this weekend. (((huggs and blessings for us all))) [/QUOTE]
