[QUOTE="judi, post: 21384, member: 148"] Hi there - My son is 21 and has a child too but isn't involved in his life either. We too live in IL - though south of Peoria. Drug abuse is so rampant among our kids. I don't know if you are interested or not, but Families Anonymous is a good organization for parents. We went to a couple of meetings when our son was 16 and the parents there were parents of adult kids - in their 20's and 30's. We left there in tears because we just couldn't face the fact that we might be living with this for years to come. Now, years later, we are those parents! I am so sorry for the turmoil your step-daughter has caused. Like you said, your grand-daughter is in counseling for the turmoil. I am glad you found us - you will never have judgement or be told it was something you did or didn't do here. I'm a professional as is my husband and we tell no one of our story with our son. It does not mean that we don't love him dearly because we do so very much, it just means that our lives have to continue too. In the 6 years that I've been coming here, I have never received anything but love and caring. I know you will too. Hope today is a better day...judi [/QUOTE]
