[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 744134, member: 23349"] C is like this with relationships, too. Puts all his hope and self esteem into a girl and then when it doesn’t work out crashes. This last time he’s trying sobriety is the first time I think in his life he’s done it without a girl involved. Perhaps that is a hopeful sign? I don’t know. But I’ve sure been there with witnessing these crashes, self destructive behaviors, suicide threats, etc. It is really rough and there is little we can do for them from the outside. Ultimately they need to decide they are worth something even outside of a relationship, and stop putting so much emphasis on something external. If he was only trying to get sober for her he was doing it for the wrong reasons and it was never going to last. We all crumble at times watching our kids go through this. But you keep getting up. You keep setting and holding boundaries. You keep moving forward. You are stronger than you think. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
