[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 707316, member: 59"] Hi Weary Mother and welcome. Being in a support group has saved my sanity so I am glad you found one in your community. Like they say, hate the disease, love the addict. I too have had to put up boundaries with my daughter. I will no longer allow her to treat us like she did for so many years when she was using. I have found that once they are out of your house you realize that you will never go back to those days. I have always told my daughter that I love her and will give her encouragement and support as long as she is doing the right thing. When I find out she isn't I pull back. You are seeing your son drug free in jail. Hopefully he will get into an intensive program when he leaves jail so that he doesn't go back to using. That is the message I would tell him if I were you. Support him in doing that but please take care of yourself. And continue with your support group. [/QUOTE]
