[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 718075, member: 13542"] Teary, I'm so sorry. Other than make the call, there isn't anything else you can do for your son. It's a sucker punch to the gut to get that kind of news....it's shocking and throws us far out of balance. Put the focus on yourself now and make sure you get YOUR needs met. Take care of YOU. You may want to give NAMI a call. The National Alliance on Mental Illness. They have excellent parent courses for us which can provide support, guidance, information, resources, etc. You can access them online. They have chapters in many cities. You may want to read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post, perhaps it will offer you some solace. Take deep breaths. If you can, get outside and take a walk......reach out in your support network for some kindness......show up at a 12 step meeting to be around others.....keep yourself well supported. You have the power to choose your response......that's all the power you have......choose to take care of yourself...... Sending you hugs. [/QUOTE]
