[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 466271"] It is most definitely a process for us as well as for them. I know we let my son come back after he had done some good steps for himself, like finish some work so he could get his hs diploma. And it has definitely been a process for me to learn to let go, let him really fall to the bottom and to let him get to the place where HE wants help. I still want to save and protect him but I am learning those are natural instincts but do not need to always be acted upon.... and in fact it is often better that I just step back. I am another one where Alanon has been a huge huge help. Definitely go and if you don't connect with the first group try another meeting. If you can find a parents meeting that is ideal. We have found a wonderful group here and it is wonderful meeting other parents who understand exactly what we are going through and who help support the idea of stepping back, rather than trying to come up with new solutions for us to do......because bottom line is at this age we can't do anything except support them when they are ready and want to help themselves.
