[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 759049, member: 23405"] Lovemysons, My heart breaks for you. I will keep you in my prayers that God not only changes him but changes you. In Al anon we are given this prayer that I said over and over through many tough times. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Early on I thought the part where it says "the courage to change the things I can" still meant to change my sons...but I found out it was the courage to change myself. To detach with love. Not an easy thing to do but necessary to realize we can't rescue them anymore like when they were little and fell down. We were there to pick them up, brush them off and put a band-aid on it. Now we have to learn to allow them the dignity to figure out they can be better and do better but it's often not in our time frame. Don't give up. [/QUOTE]
