[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 651827, member: 18856"] I felt like you do just a few weeks ago with my 18 year old daughter. It is hard and that's something you need to let yourself feel so you can come iut the other side with an understanding of why this is happening. I learned very quickly from these wonderful people on the forum that you need to take care of yourself, find yourself and believe that he is making his own choices, no one is making him do drugs or lie or steal, his addiction is driving it. He will have to make more choices as time passes and the sooner he realizes that he can keep falling back on you or anyone else besides himself for change or help, the better. I didn't think the hurt would ever go away. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown from the worry and hurt and stress but I didnt. I very quickly learned that my daughter is a separate person from me and she is making choices for herself, not me. Don't take on his problems, let him carry the burden. Read others posts here on the board and know that you are not alone, there are others going through this just like you. It will get better. [/QUOTE]
