[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 752932, member: 15801"] Trying, I am sorry you are having a tough time. I hope you find a good alanon meeting,especially one for parents. The focus of alanon is on you not your son....and I think trying to figure out how you can enjoy your life and your hopefully your marriage in spite of your son will help a lot. As to the happy facebook other family stuff. I had a funny experience when my daughter was in hs. She was going to the prom with a group of friends including a boy she was friends with. This boy had been at our house several times. My son was not living with us and my daughter didnt talk about him much to her friends. I got a call from the boys mom about the prom stuff and she said J loves your family, and went on about what a great relationship we had with our daugther etc. I finally laughed and said I have to tell you we do not have the perfect family, we have some major issues with my son which my daughter doesnt talk about and he is not living with us at the moment. The mom thanked me because she was going through a divorce and was having a hard time. It really reminded me that things are often not what they seem.... here this mom thought we were the perfect family and I had a son who a drug addict and pretty much in huge trouble!! [/QUOTE]
