[QUOTE="strugglingdad, post: 662375, member: 18750"] I don't have a counselor. I don't have anybody to talk to (including my wife at this point because she's tired of talking about it and she just gets mad). I feel pretty alone in all of this. I'm so tired of trying to find the right things to say and do to make him understand that this doesn't have to be his path. After all the AA/NA meetings and group sessions in the Residential Treatment Center (RTC), he still laughs at the very suggestion that he's an addict. He cannot hear the addiction in his own words when he says things that addicts say, and he mocks me when I point them out. We already spend hundreds of dollars a month on a counselor for my son that clearly isn't helping. I can't afford any more counseling, so I guess my wife and I will just have to see what happens with us. [/QUOTE]
