[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 699971, member: 19617"] Hello Kailoani I just saw your post and do not have much time, but wanted to acknowledge your post and welcome you to this forum, although I am sorry for the heartache and difficult child problems that have brought you’re here. It is a safe place to tell your story and vent your despair and frustrations and confusion and sorrow. We understand here, and it is such a relief to be able to share your grief anonymously and know it is safe and that you will find comfort and support. To help us understand more, could you explain if your son uses street drugs or has been diagnosed with some mental illness. Did his difficulties start with your remarriage, or had you noticed problems earlier? Does he hang out with other youths of similar behavior? Does he have any friends? Does he work at all? If you have not already done so, take time to read and re-read the detachment article at the top of this forum. It helps us to not feel so guilty about wanting to detach and stop enabling, and to understand the need for loving detachment.
