[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 656116, member: 18516"] Good for you BG!!! It is easier when miles seperate us. My son is also in CO and I like you in IL (small world). It's good that you are aware of those feelings, that will help you keep your guard up. Just keep reapeating to yourself that you cannot save him or help him. Even if you had all the money and resources in the world you could still not save him or help him. Until they decide for themselves that they are tired of living the way they are nothing will change for them. As I've posted before my son has been in and out of jail/prison. The longest he was in was 2 years during which time he told me he was glad to be sober and he was "working the steps". When he was released I flew to CO to get him, brought him back here, set him up with a place to live, supplied him with clothes, food, etc... told him all you need to do is keep going to meetings, get job and get your life back on track. He couldn't stick with it and getting job, what a joke. There's a lot more to the story but in a nut shell, I learned that there was nothing I could do for him because he didn't want it for himself. He chose his drugs and alcohol over his family. It broke my heart but I knew I had to let him go. Mommy couldn't fix this. It's crazy because my son was "so happy" to be away from CO and all the bad influences he had there but he managed to find new "playmates" here, then in a couple of other states and now he's back in CO. Hang in ther BG and enjoy your cake!! [/QUOTE]
