[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714115, member: 15032"] Welcome Carol: This is tough stuff for any of us! It sounds like you are doing what you can do for yourself and yet doing the minimal for him. I'd say keep going to your meetings and if possible you may want to look into a private therapist for yourself to help you deal with your son and setting healthy boundaries with him and FOR him! I know that having a personal therapist has helped me tremendously in my own life. I like coming here for what I see as the group therapy part of it so wanted someone that could really help me focus in on my own situation. The longevity of this situation, for me in particular, is what really wore me down. I am a very strong person and I know that I can do just about anything difficult if I see an end in sight but with addiction there is no end in sight that you can cling onto and that to me is the hardest thing of all. Good luck and keep posting here. It will help you! :notalone: [/QUOTE]
