[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 405230"] patriot girl and Nancy - I feel so much for you both and know so well that I could easily be in your shoes. I wish you lived closer because I have found an awesome parents alanon group which has been so helpful and such a relief to me. It helps so much to meet other parents, with kids various ages and stages who are normal people who are dealing with what we are dealing with. I do think it is different being a parent of an addict vs. a spouse or partner. All I can say is keep setting those boundaries and limits and do whatever you can to live and enjoy your life. Easier said than done I well know. It is so so hard to concentrate on anything when you are in that desperate state of worry and anxiety. My son continues to do well... he is looking for a job but hasn't found one yet. We are currently helping him out financially until he does... and the whole giving him money makes me nervous although he seems to be doing well.... although I guess getting annoyed at the rules at the half way house.... but he is still going to therapy etc. I try not to worry that I don't really know what is going on because he is not here... but to enjoy the fact that he is not here. Anyway I am thinking about you both and hope you both keep writing about your struggles and your journey. [/QUOTE]
