[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 729952, member: 18958"] Welcome Deni. I share some of the same challenges with my son who is now 29. It sounds like your son right now is exactly where he should be. One. Away from you. Two. Involved with a community agency where he can receive the supportive services he requires. My son is involved with a similar program. In a sober living house. I just learned that following that there is a transitional program that sets them up in independent housing, with section 8 I believe. Their security deposits are paid and independent living skills are imparted. They are monitored. Those with medical needs and mental illness are supported to get these needs met. I felt such a sense of relief when I learned this. It means that I do not have to take responsibility forever. I do not have to hold the line. I can just be a mom. But at the same time I have great sadness. Because I have to accept that this is the status quo and I am powerless. I would try to do anything to keep myself from getting involved in son's current situation. We cannot do this alone. Take care. [/QUOTE]
