[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 763661, member: 19522"] Hi As123, Glad to know you were able to talk with your son. It is good that he admitted to his drug use. Awesome, I hope he follows through. I hope he follows through with this as well. Friends definitely greatly influence teens and young adults. Hopefully your son will see the consequences of his choices and want to change. That’s a common thing called triangulation. Addicts will side with the “easier” parent. That was my two with my husband. I was done dealing with their using drugs and us, the stealing, lying and drama. I hard-lined- hubs didn’t want to. He was the good guy, I was the target. That is difficult to go through. That’s good. The rents are crazy where I live. I can see how young adults stay at home. It’s not a problem if they are helpful and follow rules. if not it’s a game changer. A lot of addicts have dual diagnosis. We get so caught up in what our adult kids are doing, especially with fentanyl out there. Of course we get anxious. I guess the only thing you can do is take it one day at a time. Focus on yourself and your well-being. We tend to focus on our addicted loved ones so much that we go down the rabbit hole with them in our own way. It’s a very tough journey and hard spot to be in. I hope that your son follows through with getting help and recovery. In the meantime, take very good care of yourself. Don’t let him manipulate or gaslight you. Keep a journal. That helps to document this journey. Love for our kids tends to put blinders on us. That’s not good for us or our adult kids. Stay well. Leaf [/QUOTE]
