[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 726129, member: 15032"] Origami: I know you love him very much and want what is best for him and his family. Do you see a therapist for yourself and/or with hubby? Maybe to help you set boundaries with him would be helpful. To be on the same page. It's hard for us to set boundaries because we are moms. I had to get help for that myself. I knew that my son needed them too. I don't know where we'd all be right now if I hadn't found this site and gotten help to be stronger in all of this. I knew I had to stop the cycle we were in; that's all I knew. Honestly I didn't know anyone else dealing with this until I found the wonderful people here that had so much knowledge. It's a very lonely place to be not knowing what to do or what is best. Or if I should even do anything at all. I kind of analyze everything and it seemed to me that whatever I'd normally do for a typical son I should not do for my son who had a substance abuse problem. It always seemed I needed to do the opposite of what my initial knee jerk reaction would be. That's a hard lesson to learn though; for me it was. [/QUOTE]
