[QUOTE="CLJ, post: 618443, member: 17622"] Hi, thanks so much to you all for replying to me, especially Midwest mom....I needed to hear that just as you stated it! My heart is aching that is for sure! My husband and myself right now are pondering how we are going to confront our son. So reading all your replies will help comfort us as we sort out how we are gonna handle this. Right now, I have been through individual therapy on and off, over the last 15 years. I can honestly say it has been the best thing I ever did for my myself and my family. However in the last few months I finally reached my husband of 27yrs that we need "couples counseling" cause I'm angry at him when it comes to what he could have done for himself to help our family as a whole. (another story in itself) but this is what led me to my mothers intuition about my son's strange behavior over the last 3 yrs. As of right now, my husband and myself are starting counseling but I can't help but think we are in crisis mode right now and should be seeking family counseling perhaps with a drug and alcohol counselor. I want to say from what I know and read from reading my sons FB messages, how bad he is addicted to this crap.....I also am checking into nar anon groups in my area but part of me is saying "are you sure you aren't making a mountain out of a mole hill?" My mommy mind is certainly playing tricks on me and it's driving me crazy!!! [/QUOTE]
