[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 728415, member: 15032"] Welcome and great advice from Guidance Seeker who has just been there/done that. I wish I had done what we did sooner also. We suffered so much. I did not have any younger children (he's my youngest) but if I did I am pretty sure we would have acted more quickly. Keep reading and posting. It's good to get things down on "paper" and you can do that here and you will get great ideas, support and advice that you can use or not use. I started to see a therapist that specializes in addiction to set boundaries for my mom heart. Our son needed this as much as we did. Oh and we love our son with all our heart but we were no longer going to watch him kill himself. You can see by my signature that we have endured a lot. And obviously that isn't our whole story. He is doing much better now and I am not going to write the end of the story. I do know he is finally maturing and seeing the world without the fog of addiction. If we had not taken drastic steps, this would never have happened. I did not want him to waste his entire life in this spiral so I did what I could do to stop it. It's really up to him to decide how he wants to live his life and what kind of man he wants to be. He wouldn't change so we changed. We did it because we love our son. Love says NO! It's a process and none of us have gotten there overnight BUT if you read this forum you will get a clear picture of what works and doesn't work based on the experience of others. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
