[QUOTE="country, post: 700367, member: 20890"] Hi RN0441: Absolutely, I find comfort in these pages. We aren't alone. I read your signature and my heart weeps for you and your family. Your son got addicted to "altered states" which is probably like my son. And part of me thinks "how can I blame him"... he has struggled forever and tried so hard and nothing ever works quite right. Could I do better? Probably not. We do have 3 other small kids (under 7) so I'm scared to have him back home until he has proven some stability. I do work outside of the home part time. And, we started counseling last week and I love having someone to talk to that can help me sort through things... although I feel like my thinking just goes in circles. Conclusions are hard because everything is so uncertain and I'm so scared to make the wrong decision for him. But, in reading the forum it seems the consensus is to be too tough rather than too lax.... and he will be 17 soon. I want to be aggressive in helping him as much as I can before he's 18 and out of my hands, and out of home seems like the most likely way to do that. THanks for sharing, these pages are therapeutic.
