[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 703457, member: 17720"] Welcome, Belle, and sorry you had to find us. I too wish I had some suggestions for you. I am not familiar with the services available in the UK, and I don't know what avenues to try that you haven't tried already. It certainly sounds like you have done everything you possibly could have. I do know that when we get to a point where we realize we have no control over the situation, the only thing left to do is focus on ourselves, on how WE cope and OUR OWN well-being. I hope that you will do that, in whatever way you need to, whether it is seeing a counselor, going to NAMI or Al-Anon / Nar-Anon meetings, perhaps just taking extra steps to be extra gentle and kind with yourself. Where your son is now is NO reflection on you, as a parent or as a person, Belle. His choices are his alone, and only he can decide to change the trajectory of his life. Maybe if he gets to that point, you can help him get the support to do so. Until then you shouldn't feel like a prisoner in your own home. You deserve peace. Keep posting and reading. It helps.
