[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 648948, member: 13542"] Hi Sherri. I'm glad you're here with us. You may also want to post your story in Substance abuse, those folks have a lot of experience with drugs and alcohol and their kids. You and your son have been through a lot. I agree with the others about testing and getting support for YOU. You'll need it, this is a tough road with our kids. How you do a signature is you go up to the top right hand corner of this page and click on your screen name. A box will drop, click on signature. Write it like we have done on ours and remember to save it. It will appear at the bottom of your post so we can recall how old your son is, what the basic facts are, so we don't have to go looking for your former posts trying to remember the story. Thanks. Keep posting it helps a lot. Remember to consider going to Families anonymous, or Al Anon, and/or private therapy. You may also want to go online and look up NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, they have chapters in many cities and are a really good resource for us parents, they have a wonderful course for parents which if you can go, will be very helpful to you. As I mentioned, also post your story over in Substance Abuse, you'll get more support in both places. Hang in there Sherri, it'll take time and effort, but as you work through the system, get the information you need and get support, you'll begin to feel a little better. It's a process to go through it. [/QUOTE]
