[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 743009, member: 15801"] It is so hard to watch their health and to watch them make these choices to live the way they do when they have options to live better.... when we give them options to live better and they dont take them. My son has Hep C and I have no idea if he is dealing with it at all... but he continues to drink which clearly is bad news for his liver..... and if he gets back into heroin that is a whole other bad thing. I just keep coming back to there is a very good chance that at this rate I will outlive him.... and there is nothing I can do about it. Really there isn’t. I have no control over the choices he makes. I cant control his life inlcuding his health choices.... and he is now doing things that may affect his liberty and I know that ending up in jail wont be good for his mental health. Copa.... I dont mean to chime in with my own worries here.... but I totally get your frustration and your worries about your son and the helplessness you feel in trying to help him when he wont do the things he needs to do to help himself. Really the main thing is to do what you can to keep yourself above water so that you dont go down with him. TL [/QUOTE]
