[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 761629, member: 18958"] ,From my time here on this site I have learned that this is a place with lots of higher-end, for profit drug treatment places. I think RN's son was here for awhile. If not here, somewhere in Florida. At least in Florida the climate for now will be more amenable. (That is not meant to be sarcastic.) So many of our kids right now are homeless and facing wet, cold and harsh weather. My son included. Helpless. As I see it, you've got to try to let go for a time and let him find his own solutions. Also, I would hope for you that you no longer tolerate his abusive behavior towards you. This is the time to turn into your own life, and towards your own resources. I think that drug abuse is this way. The drug holds the power until the individual decides to put at the center of his life, something else. Nobody can do anything, except to bring the horse to water, so to speak. As parents we can't make them drink. I am in a similar place as you. I lose touch with myself, my strengths, my value, when I am suffering about my son. I just want to die. Not like killing myself, but like extinguishing myself, my consciousness, what I feel. I find it absolutely unbearable, too. Love, Copa [/QUOTE]
