[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 733878, member: 15032"] Tired Mamma This sounds so hard. But can I just say what I think even though I have not been through this? I think you and hubby should get out of the middle of it all. For now. Focus on yourselves and your life and stop making your son's life your life. I know that is very hard and our son is 22 so we feel he is still so young BUT I do think that my work on detachment has helped me greatly. I don't know if you see a therapist but I would recommend that. I see one (only once a month now) that specializes in addiction and she helps me work through my feelings and letting our son adult. My son has seen me change too. He just told his dad "wow, mom really sticks to her guns!". It comes as second nature to me now and I am so thankful for that gift! [/QUOTE]
