[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 728493, member: 18516"] [B][I][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0000]You will get there![/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/B] I was once so completely lost in the FOG I didn't think I would ever be happy. I remember thinking "I can't wait till he's 18, then I won't have to deal with him anymore" Ya, that didn't work out so well. [B][U]I kept allowing myself [/U][/B]to be sucked into his vortex of chaos and trouble. I truly believe that had I found this site years ago I would have detached sooner than I did. For so many years I just felt alone, I had no idea just how many other parents were dealing with a difficult adult child. I could have saved myself years of heartbreak and lots of money! Like you, my son is our only child. It's not easy to accept that the dreams and hopes we have for our children may never come to pass but that's thing, it's [U][B]our [/B][/U]hopes and dreams not theirs. Accepting that we are powerless over their choices is so freeing. We brought them into this world, we cared for them, we loved them, we taught them right from wrong, we did the very best we could and that is enough, that is good enough.
