[QUOTE="buddy, post: 464065, member: 12886"] I just found this forum today too. My issues are very different (though I have been choked by my son). I do dig in and get help for him. If your son is not yet 18 then you have the power to put him in treatment. You will lose that very soon and this seems way over anyone's head, especially single parents like us in my humble opinion. It is very scary. Is he going to get to play football if he tests dirty anyway?. Better he be alive and have options than to focus on football and lose everything, maybe even his life as he knows it if he hurts you seriously. I know the worry that he will give up is terrifying, but he is giving up as it is, right? Just doing it the hard way. I dont know him or you so this is just an impression and of course I could be way off base. I hope you find some relief for yourself. Have you thought of going to a 12 step program for alanon or a similar program to help you wade through this with local people? What does his doctor say? He sounds so depressed and angry through what you are saying. Treatment will connect him with people he can talk to and maybe he wont need to self medicate. I will be thinking of you tonight. Hope you are both okay. I know what it is to love someone so fiercly yet be so at a loss. [/QUOTE]
