[QUOTE="not alone 123, post: 763091, member: 30046"] I am very thankful to find this site! For years I struggled feeling alone, but I know that people have been though even tougher things. My son got involved with the wrong type of people in his early teens. He had a hard time with school and started smoking pot at a young age. Long story short, he got into meth and fentanyl. He moved in with us about 5 years ago after being arrested for theft, spending a short time in jail. He worked and was doing ok, but soon there were signs of more drug use and items missing. My husband said my son had to go or he would. I kicked him out of our house about a year ago, and he has gotten into more trouble, is homeless and is facing more time in the clink. I talk to him occasionally but find it hard to have a relationship of any kind if he is breaking the law. This has been a heart wrenching experience. It has tested my faith and there have been many days I simply wanted to die. I pray for him every day, but I am being better about taking care of my own mental health by joining Nara-non, taking a vacation, spending time with friends and family, and finally reaching out to tell this shameful story. Life is too short to allow myself to have a nervous breakdown and negatively effect the friends and loved ones I have, including my son. Many of you have gone through similar experiences. I am so thankful you shared them to help me in a dire time of need! [/QUOTE]
