[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737606, member: 13542"] I agree that you made the right choice. You sound committed to the path you've set forth, which is wonderful.....and at the same time, it's often the hardest thing any of us have ever done. But strong boundaries are the best option. We can't wait for our adult kids to change..... WE have to do the heavy lifting of change. It may be helpful to read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here. I'd encourage you to shift your focus off of your son and put it on yourself and the rest of your family. Remember what life was like before your son slipped off the rails and recapture your peace and comfort. Nourish and nurture yourselves. Hang in there. You're not alone, we're all here with you.
