[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724887, member: 1550"] I find detachment easier when they don't live with us. We can't learn to leave them be and live our own lives while they are there, self-destructing right in front of us. We can't love them to health. Addiction is not like the flu. Our nurturing and letting them abuse us is unhealthy for us AND them and just makes things stay the same or get worse, not better. And, yes, they can die at home. A teenage friend of a teen I know hung herself in her closet. Nobody saw it coming, even though she was with family. We have to change or nothing else will change. Please do not spend your life trying to save your son. Only he can do that. Love and hugs. [/QUOTE]
