[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 694835, member: 15032"] Hopeful So sorry to hear you are in pain. We are in pain too. I think So Ready gave you great advice. I can understand your fear if he is suicidal and the worry that you won't be there for him but sometimes they use that as a way to manipulate also. Are you going to therapy, NA or anything else to help you cope? That's all we as parents can really do once we decide we can't do it anymore. I don't think you are cold or uncaring. It's obvious you love your son VERY MUCH. I have felt cold myself the past week. I haven't talked to my son - he isn't saying anything I want to hear - for over a week and it makes ME feel so much better not to talk to him. I feel like my insides are already shredded. My son is also young and unfortunately it seems like a curse. They are too immature to understand it all and the drug use or mental illness makes them even slower to develop. Why is the frontal lobe the last to develop when it's the part of the brain that is needed the most? Like everyone says HE/THEY need to suffer enough/be in enough pain to want to change their lives. We can't do it for them. It is very hard to watch. Hugs and you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
