[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 743607, member: 15032"] Wash, rinse, repeat. You are worrying yourself to death and I get that. It's what we do. Your son is a grown man and he will do what he will do whether you like it or not. That is how they think. I would try to pull away from him as much as possible and focus on your own well being and do things for yourself. Your suffering won't change a hair on his head. I did that with my son until I saw him really TRY to change. I couldn't do it any longer. It was killing me. My husband communicated with him. I stopped all communication for some time. He is better and home now. He doesn't hold it against me. We haven't talked about it at all. I think he understands why I did what I did. It's okay for us to look out for ourselves. I don't know if we'll ever talk about it. I'm just trying to move forward. One thing my mother did that I have said I will never do and that is live in the past. That is how she lives her life. It caused her great misery. None of us can change the past. [/QUOTE]
