[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 695103, member: 15032"] Lonelyone: Welcome back and sorry you have to be here. Many of us here are going through something similar but we are all in different stages. My son is almost 21 and in his fifth time in rehab after overdosing on Father's Day. We had sent him to Florida in March with the hopes he'd get his life together but this is the result. He is now back in IOP after detox and rehab. I told him last week that I cannot deal with his behavior anymore so to please talk to his dad if he needs to talk to "us". He is not ready to admit he really has a problem and doesn't think he should be where he is right now. I am seeing a therapist now for ME. I am just overwhelmed with this latest behavior and can't deal with his emotional baggage. He is not yet ready to change. The best thing I have learned here is to take care of myself and other family members and to detach. He is on his OWN journey. I can't change it. I can't fix him. We've tried everything. It's very hard to sit back and watch someone you love with all your heart destroy themselves. Addiction is an evil Demon. Living with a loved one that has it is truly hell on earth. There is great knowledge on this forum. We all GET IT. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
