[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 694817, member: 15801"] Th anks RN. This is good..... I think my struggle about letting go is somehow is my not helping him going to hurt him? But on my walk this morning I came to the conclusion that right now for me I need to give up.... not give up on him.... but give up trying to help him. I need to give up on the idea that I can help him. I think for my son to get into recovery he really needs to want it and to be willing to do whatever it takes.... and I think by being such a safety net for him he has not had to do whatever it takes... when it gets hard he stops doing what it takes and does what he wants because he knows i will help him pick up the pieces. So when and if he calls my plan is to tell him I will always be there to love, listen and talk to him but I am no longer a source of income. [/QUOTE]
