[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 735946, member: 1550"] Hi. I am sorry you need to go through this. I strongly advise trying therapy and Alanon. I used both. This is too hard to do without support and usually family and friends don't understand the kind of support we need. Or the kind of advice we need to hear. It sounds like you already know that you can't change your son or anyone except yourself. But changing your own reactions to your son can help him change sometimes At the very least you have peace in your house. I also count my blessings every day. That for me is my husband and four kids and grands and the plans I have with my husband in retirement. We just retired. If I think a bad thought I try to quickly replace it with a blessing. No one gains anything from our sadness...it changes nothing. Better to look at the sunny side of the street. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
