[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 728487, member: 21895"] SD3 Follow my thread. I have put my 18 YO son out had him arrested 3 times and the last time was when he was over 18. On the best of days this doesn’t feel good. I have learned to embrace the knowledge that I do not want to help my son to death. If he takes a turn for the worst and comes to his own demise a true tragedy would be acted out. However, if this were to happen in my home,under my roof with my support, I do not think I would survive. Love says no, love steps out of the way. Love is what we need to embrace. Loving is sometime the absolute hardest thing we will ever do. You are in very good company. Is my story as success? I am not sure how to answer that. My son is in a bit of a hot box (baseball fans will get that). If he doesn’t go to rehab he will face 4 years in prison. Will he benefit from this? I don’t know what the outcome will be. I do know that I will feel that I did and tried everything in my power to help my son. If he choses not to embrace this opportunity, I will love him,say NO MORE!,and step out of his way. I will only have the courage and strength to do this with my forum supporters in tow. I have been like a sponge gleaning wisdom along with acceptance and understand from this forum. So in my eyes comparing me from a year ago to know I am a HUGE success. Weather my son will be or not is his choice. I have provided him with the knowledge and tools to succeed, the rest is up to him. It is his sorry to write and mine to observe and feel compassion, joy and disappointment over all while embracing those feelings As my own. Find away to reconcile your emotions with the actions you know are the only ones that will have any positive impact on your child/adult child. You are not only not alone, tour in damn fine company. A very big hug to you. [/QUOTE]
