[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 588698, member: 15832"] Hi Karen, I go to Families Anonymous and there are several people in my group who have teenagers with substance abuse and mental illness, so I'm sure you won't be alone. Check out different groups in your area. There are more NA and Alanon groups than FA, and maybe you can find one that you will click with. And even if you are the only one with a teenager, most of the people there are dealing with their young adult children who only a few years ago were teenagers. Often many of the issues and behaviors are similar, as the young adults are often the same age emotionally as your 17 year old, as they stop maturing when they start using the substances. [/QUOTE]
