[QUOTE="StillStanding, post: 723987, member: 21300"] Thank you everyone for your supportive posts. I feel like a whining victim which is not who I want to be but I've not had a lot of success trying to find support. I've been to many NarAnon meetings (I even tried different groups). I've come to accept that 12 step programs just aren't for me. I have benefitted from 2 groups (1 for mental illness family members, 1 for addiction family members) but they had a limited time (8 weeks). I tried 2 therapists and didn't "connect" with either of them. 1 actually made me feel worse. She said that my long working hours might have caused my son's behaviour. Hmmm... a single mom working to support her kids on her own and therefore, his problems are my fault. Anyway, that's it for my whining. You are all right, I should try a different therapist. Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US. [/QUOTE]
