[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 698868, member: 15032"] Welcome Silly! We went through a LOT with our son also. He started going off the rails at 15. He settled down and was sober more than not sober but wasn't moving forward with his life. He had anxiety and depression so I always made excuses for him. I tried everything to help him. He wasn't growing as a person in our home - at all. He thought just because he never used heroin that he was "okay". We gave him SO many chances. We finally sent him to an IOP program in Florida after many tries at rehab and then home. He is now 21 and is learning how to be on his own - with restrictions. I don't know where this will all end but now my home is peaceful and I look forward to coming home from work and spending quality time with my husband. I am living for me now after five years of turmoil with no positive results. I let my husband take over. I was leading too much with my heart. It wasn't helping him or me.at.all. I am in therapy to help me learn how to detach and let him be the man that God intended for him to be. This is HIS journey. He is not me. I am not him. I am 100% better BUT I am still not 100% where I need to be. He knows that we love him very much. This forum and others' stories has helped me tremendously. I have gained so much strength and knowledge here. The best thing you can do for yourself and your family is educate yourself and you can do that here! [/QUOTE]
