[QUOTE="done_dad, post: 454910"] I'm sorry you're in such a terrible situation with your son. My experience with my daughter is that if we're (my wife and I) more invested and busier in her recovery than she is, it's not going to work. It's not something we can do for her, much as we'd like it to be. The counterintuitive thing is, the more you try to help them, the less you are actually helping them. They'll only want to change when they hit bottom. Preventing them from getting there is only prolonging the misery for everybody. [/QUOTE]
