[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 745992, member: 18516"] I have wondered so many time what my son's "rock bottom" would be and then somewhere along the journey I heard this. [I]"Just when you think you've hit rock bottom, you find out it has a basement"[/I] This statement is so my son. I don't know if he will ever live what I call a conventional life or even a responsible life. He's 37 now and I would like to think that he would finally start getting it. He has manage to stay out of trouble while finishing his parole and I think that's only because he doesn't want to finish out his full sentence in jail. Once he has completed his parole, sometime next month, then we'll see how things go. He has been attending AA meetings but then again, is he doing it because he's on parole or because he finally realizes he has a serious problem. Only time will tell. For me, the only way I have found peace with all of it is to let him go. I will always hold him in my prayers and I allow myself to hold onto 1% of hope that he will turn his life around, beyond that, I need to live my own life. [/QUOTE]
