[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 620492, member: 13542"] stepparentincrisis, welcome. You have a sad tale. I'm glad you found us. You've received wonderful support and it sounds as if you've come up with a plan until he turns 18 in November. 9 months is a long time in hell though. If he smokes weed in your home you can call the police. You can also call them if he is violent. I'm sure you know that. You might read the article at the bottom of my post here on Detachment, it's helpful. You might call NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental illness, they have excellent courses for parents and I have found them to be very helpful in giving us parents all kinds of resources for our kids. Once he is 18 they may be able to steer you in the right direction. As mentioned, getting support is vital for us parents, this is a treacherous journey we're on. Family anonymous, therapy, a parent group, a minister, whatever you can find to offer empathy, understanding and real tools to help you to disengage and bring back your health and your peace and your joy. I'm sorry you are going through this, I know how devastating it is and how it impacts relationships. It helps to post here, for our clarity and also to receive understanding and support from others who are living in a similar kind of hell. We're here if you need us. [/QUOTE]
