[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 726524, member: 22632"] docwatso - I am so sorry to hear what a horrible time you have had. You have been through so much for 13 years and every bit of help you gave was taken advantage of. You did it all out of love for him just as I have done over the last few years for my son. We feel at the time that we are helping them and believe they will turn their lives around. I could easily see my path continuing as yours did in years to come if I don’t detach from my son. Thank you for your advice, I will really try to back off from rescuing him and make him face the natural consequences of his actions. Our sons may change one day and that would be great but even if they don’t, I think we need to look after ourselves and live lives that we enjoy rather than living in the chaos that they create.
