[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 698125, member: 13542"] Hi Suzanne. I'm sorry for your struggles with your son. It is very hard on us parents to watch our kids self destruct. You may find the article at the bottom of my post on Detachment interesting. A book that may be helpful is Codependent No More by Melodie Beattie. For many of us getting into therapy, a support group or a 12 step group has changed our lives and offered us the support we need to begin the process of letting go and accepting what we can't change. While your son is in prison, it may be an excellent time for you to put the focus on yourself and remember how to take care of YOU, often we forget that we have needs too and that WE matter. Hang in there, you're not alone.........we're here for you....... [/QUOTE]
