[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 712265, member: 13303"] You are an inspiration to me, I hope I have your strength when I need to draw on it in a few years. My Difficult Stepson is 16 now. I see a similar path to your child's in his future. You did nothing wrong, and there is nothing you can do to save him. He has to help himself. It seems that you know this which is wonderful. Many parents never learn. Enjoy your new home, and I hope your son eventually gets help. It may take some very serious consequences, maybe homelessness, maybe jail, who knows. The more we bail them out of their bad decisions, the harder they will eventually fall even if it happens after we die, because there is nobody left to enable them. Stay strong! [/QUOTE]
