[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 717055, member: 11832"] I think it is extremely hard to watch someone you love self-destruct. We want so much for them to see their own value, but there are some people who are so broken that they simply cannot see a sober path forward. My late husband was like that. I wanted to save him but I couldn't. That was the key to me making peace with my son. I had to acknowledge that he makes the choices in his life, not me. He may choose poorly (oh, my, yes!) but it is his life journey. I have little to no influence over him. [/QUOTE]
