[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 755881, member: 15032"] Welcome I found this site when my son was 15 and going off the rails. He is now 24 and in college full time (better late than never) but put us through hell. Much of my story is in my signature. The most important thing I learned is that did not cause it nor could I control it. I found that setting loving but firm boundaries would help us and our son. I learned that normal parenting for a typical son/daughter is enabling when they are either addicted or just making poor choices and not functioning normally. I learned that taking care of myself and my marriage had to continue and I could not throw myself away because m son was trying to destroy himself. There is no one size fits all answer but being on this site and journalizing and reading other's stories will help you tremendously. You will see your son and yourself in many of these stories. Take what you need and leave the rest. Are you married? How old is your son? Does he live at home? Do you have any support? Turning my son over to God and my faith got me through it. I would not have survived. You came to the right place! [/QUOTE]
