[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 616059, member: 13542"] Bri, welcome. You will get more people to see your post if you start your own thread, you've responded to a an older post..............you can cut and paste what you wrote, or just start a completely new thread. How old is your son? One resource you might try is NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. They have wonderful courses for parents, all kinds of support. You can access them online, they have chapters everywhere. You need support to help you figure out what your next steps are. NAMI can help you with tools, understanding, resources and support. It may also be very helpful for you to find a therapist to help you negotiate how much you can help and how much you need to let go. Each of us handles detachment differently as it pertains to our kids..........but most of us need lots of support. You need help to determine what the healthiest and most appropriate steps are for you to take for both your son and yourself. This is a process. I'm sorry you find yourself in this situation with your son, I know how painful it is and how much you are hurting. Keep posting, it helps to be heard by others who are in similar places. I'm glad you found us............hang in there.......... [/QUOTE]
