[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 686495, member: 19617"] Hello Havingfaith, I want to welcome you to the forum although I am so sorry for the heartache and pain that brought you here. You have arrived at a safe place where people understand what you are going through. You are not alone here. At the moment I do not have a lot to share and not much time, but first I encourage you to breathe calmly and slow down the rushing feelings of panic. I don’t know how old your son is, but with adult children, there is unfortunately nothing we can do to “fix” them or “help” them, as you have already found out through all your supportive efforts that have not helped. One thing you might do is to read the “Detachment Article” at the top of this forum. Here is the link.
