[QUOTE="nlj, post: 629899, member: 17650"] Sending warm thoughts to you. Deeply depressed is such a horrible place to be. How did you come back from your own dark times of addiction? How did you change? You know your son best, and you know what helped you. Is he like you? Can you draw on your own rich experience and expertise to find the best way to act now? That horrible feeling of responsibility that if we don't help them they will die is common to many parents here. I thought my son would die last winter. He didn't. He's capable of taking care of himself, even though I thought at the time that he needed his mother. What he and I needed was to face facts and get through it. His choices. I think you need to get some help for your depression. That seems to be the most important thing here. Your depression may be making you see your son's situation in a worse light than it actually is. It's hard to see clearly when we are looking at everything through our own black veil. I am sure some wiser women than me will be along to post soon, wise women with knowledge of addiction. Thinking of you. x [/QUOTE]
