[QUOTE="Glinda, post: 585066, member: 16079"] Thank you everyone for the support and advise. Midwest mom, we don't have anyone blood related with addiction issues. My step father and the only grandfather he knows is a recovering alcoholic. He was already in The program when he was born. I've been to al-anon meetings when I was a teenager. Id isn't understand it then but now that you brought it up a lot of it makes sense now. Recovering enabler, I have set rules and boundaries and he just breaks them and then when he has to face the consequences he would run away and I would chase after him and cut deals to get him back home. When he I told him to leave I told him that I loved him and that once he got a full time job and handled his legal matters he could come talk to me about coming home. He called around 3am last night butI didn't answer the phone because I knew I would just go get him and nothing would change. He texted me around 6:30 this morning ad just said thanks, i got this. After reading all that you wrote I have to agree that I enable him and need to stop, I just don't know how to without driving myself crazy. I am going to try and find some kind of meeting. Just the last 24 hours on this board being able to talk to someone has made me feel a little better. Thank you again for everyone's responses and the welcome hugs Buddy! [/QUOTE]
