[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 605143, member: 15801"] Thanks everyone. I have been going to Alanon for almost two years and it has been invaluable to me. I have come a long long way and am continuing on with my life.... this round of events had me trying to advocate for him.... and he really scared me when he was clearly suicidal a month ago. I sort of got hit with there are mental health issues here as well as substance abuse. I know there is nothing I can do about his substance abuse but darn it I was going to advocate for him to get mental health treatment!! Then today I found out that heroin is in the mix which I didnt really know... and on top of that he is not doing what he needs to do in jail to get help for himself.... and I am back to beng fed up and needing to detach. I am going to focus on my daughter tomorrow. I have decided I will either leave my phone in the car or not answer it if he calls. My husband and I are going away on vacation in a week and i was feeling sort of mixed about that, but at the moment I am really glad we are going. Thanks for all your support.... the heroin thing really got to me. I knew my son would use anything, and I knew he had snorted heroin before but to hear him admit it was his drug of choice made it clear that is his addiction.... and then to hear he doesnt think he has a substance abuse problem is just mind boggling.
