[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 655398, member: 17542"] Sherril, welcome back. I'm glad you know where you can come when things are so hard. I'm just so sorry for this. I'm sure you were blindsided completely and that makes it all double hard. When they are using drugs, there is no limit to the lengths they will go to, to get what they need, so they can get more drugs. It makes no sense to us. We see the full range of stupidity and digging the hole deeper and deeper, but Sherril, there isn't one single thing you can do to make him wake up and see reality today. I'm glad you see the reality. One day, our Higher Power willing, your son will wake up and see just what he has done to his life. In the meantime, since one of you sees clearly, take that knowledge and learn how to wait. Bide your time. He will be detained, and time will go by, and he will be getting three squares, a cot and a roof, and that is a good thing. As he gets sober again, and starts to realize, he can rebuild his life. There is plenty of time for that, for him. Right now, as RE said, start claiming some of this time every single day for yourself. Do one thing different in your daily life that is just all about you and nobody else. Start to heal. We can't make people "get it" any faster. So....focus on you. You're worth it. We're here for you. Big, warm hugs today. [/QUOTE]
