[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 616117, member: 13542"] Bri, your son is for the moment, safe. However, you being a "nervous wreck" and not able to eat and sleep is not healthy. That is the reason to seek professional support, so you can learn how to cope with the situation you find yourself in, in appropriate, healthy, thoughtful ways. It is how you respond to the situation that is the crux of the problem. You can't control what he has done, is going, or will do, but you can get yourself into a healthy place to make good choices which take care of you as well as him. Being helpless is an enablers worst experience.....lack of control...........find a support system to help you navigate this new territory so you can make the changes necessary to be able to deal with what is in front of you.........Wishing you peace.
