[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 726863, member: 15032"] Welcome If you read on the SA forum, which I see you have now posted on, you will see MANY of us on the same journey but at different stops along the way. You can see by my signature that we have been through a lot with our son since the age of 15 - 7 years!!! Can you say exhausting?? I can't rewrite all the wisdom, advice, strength and observations that are here but I will say that it's not your fault. Also people that haven't been through it just don't get it. On this forum, WE GET IT. It is a very difficult and lonely road to be on. I did not know anyone "like us" when this all started. It took us years to even know what we were dealing with. Our older boys had a few mishaps but quickly learned and moved on. Not our youngest. Just didn't care at all about ANYTHING. What???!!! As someone said here, I understand I will never understand. That is exactly where I am right now. My advice is to see a therapist that specializes in addiction. That is what I had to do to create firm boundaries for myself and most of all for my son. He needed this as well!! More than I did. This forum and my therapist are the only thing that has gotten me through this. Also my husband (now that we're on the same page) and some great friends. I am on the outs with my brother and sister due to incidents that happened with my son's addiction. Oh well. No strength to fix all that. More will be along to offer their insight but welcome and glad you found us! [/QUOTE]
