[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 722032, member: 21895"] Mamang Welcome. You are not alone. So many stories here some very much the same, and others same but different. Are you in 1:1 therapy, would a group session be something that would be a good support for you? Self care is very very important. I lost track of that for some time. My husband travels and we were not on the same page at all. Husband was in absolute denial and it almost killed our 30 year realatinship. We are in therapy and now much better. We are both on the same page dealing with our Difficult Child/AS. Back story son is 18 just turned 18 Friday. Has been drugging since 14/15. Started with pot escalated to other drugs. Xanax is one of his doctor. Street Xanax is terrible as it is often laced with fentanyl. Prescription Xanax is bad enough. He has continued to drug, steal from us, lie to us. No matter what we do he continues. We have taken his cell phone plan away. We have taken away his car and now have sold it. He makes no effort to stop drugging. He was dealing and we told him to stop or we would call the police. He was arrested for possession and theft at a later date. He does not do well in school at all. We have asked him to leave our home as we are just not able to get him to agree to go to long term rehab. He had been put out of the house, in the summer and begged to come home saying he wanted to go to rehab. Rehab bed became open and he refused to go. It’s not easy. There is great support here. You son is smoking pot and yes make it uncomfortable for him. Hopefully he will give it up. I am glad your daughter is in therapy she definitely needs it. Cutting is a disorder and it needs to be treated properly. She is so young to be starting the drink and drug. But that is the tragedy. They start so young. Keep posting and know your not alone.
