[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 579504, member: 13882"] Hi Wakegirl, When my son had just turned 18, and we had gone through all kinds of substance abuse hell with him, we had to tell him a week before Christmas that he could not come home. He was begging and crying, and I thought my heart would shrivel in my chest. It was the most awful, but necessary thing I've ever done, because he was so hardheaded and had to finally experience a consequence. It was not a fun place to be - I wanted to bore a hole through my floor, and just go in and hide. I am guilty of enabling big time, and that is why it was so hard for me to say and unbelievable for difficult child to hear, esp. coming from me. In order to save him, I had to let him go. It was a chance I had to take because there were no sane choices remaining. I was also so angry at him for putting me in that position in the first place. I can only offer my support and hugs for you on this awful road you must travel now. I'm wishing you peace and confidence and clarity. One day at a time, one minute at a time. [/QUOTE]
