[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 758532, member: 18958"] Trying. Why not try online Al Anon groups. There is also Coda or codependents anonymous. Or there is personal therapy. Some mothers have been helped also by themselves going to addiction counselors. If I am correct, RN may have done this, as a way to set limits with her son. You are still focusing on absolutely the worst case scenario. Yes. There are very sad and tragic stories involving drug overdoses and other horrible life circumstances. One of these is the fact that your son is an alcoholic and with alcohol he is drinking himself into poor health and worse, while he suffers and everybody around him suffers. Death is not the only bad outcome. 'Where there is life there is hope. I wish you would try to work with your own mind and life. What we put into our minds effects our lives and how we feel about our lives. If we put toxic junk in our minds, we will feel like a toxic waste dump. By filling your mind with thoughts of suicide and death, you are creating a mindset and a life that is unecessarily tragic. Just becase you think it, doesn't make it so. People work on their mindsets. This can be a personal choice. There is nothing inevitable about what we think. We can have a great deal of control, if we choose to. If you are depressed, why not seek out treatment for yourself? Have you thought that perhaps your over focus on your son may be a means to avoid facing your own depression about your life and your marriage? If this is the case, you're not the only one. [/QUOTE]
