[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 680294, member: 17542"] So Ready, I am sorry. I am catching up with this thread this morning. He's 28, as you so well know. If not now, then when? Keeping that in mind was very helpful to me as I cried and grieved and wavered and faltered. We love them so much, but we can't make things right for them. You are a Warrior Mom. This stuff is the absolute hardest stuff in the world. Please be very gentle and kind with yourself. I agree that God is in this, and this is your son's journey to travel as he needs to travel it. It's not our journey. I'm glad you are thinking about going back to Al-Anon right now. It's a shot in the arm for me every single time I go to a meeting. I am very grateful for this key tool in my toolbox. Yes, he has a car and he can sleep in the car if necessary. He will survive. And the dog can sleep in the car with him...I think it will be good for him to have the dog to care for as well. Please keep posting here as you need to. We know how tough this is. But this too shall pass, and maybe, just maybe, you are creating a new space for him to have a chance to change. Time, space and silence are good "karma" for us to send out to them. Let him go. He may just find his way. I am praying for you all today. [/QUOTE]
