[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 635523, member: 13542"] I'm glad you found someone to possibly help you. While you're getting an advocate for him, it would be wise to get some help for yourself. I know how depleting, exhausting and debilitating it is to have a troubled child of any age and you've been at this for decades. It helped me to get in to groups, you might try Al Anon or CoDa 12 step groups, or private therapy or a parent group of some kind, or a therapy group. Someplace you can go where YOU get cared for and taken care of. YOU need to replenish yourself, nurture yourself and make sure your needs are met. Since you've been enabling your son for so long, you will need A LOT of support, A LOT of care and nourishment to soothe your weary soul. Please get yourself some support. Do something kind for yourself every single day. This is a treacherous path which robs us of our lives......start to take YOUR life back, one step at at time. [/QUOTE]
