[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 688818, member: 19522"] Lil you have nothing to be sorry for, this is a very frustrating situation. All I can say is for you and Jab to [I]hold close to one another.[/I] It is very trying to be in the thick of things and figure out the next move. Your relationship with your husband, valuing yourselves, your peace and each other is the [I]most important thing[/I]. We raise our kids and they will grow up and make choices. They will venture out and eventually, [I]hopefully[/I] learn to fly. What lies in between is the love you and your husband share and your right to live out the rest of your lives joyfully, together. My hubs and I did everything we possibly could to try and help our two. Looking back, in retrospect, we agonized over their choices, stepped in and tried to help and make sense of it all, but afterwards realized there was not much we could do, or could have done to stop the train wreck. In the end, it all came down to[I] their choices[/I]. This took a toll on our relationship and [I]precious time. [/I] Whatever you decide to do is[I] up to you.[/I] This is your family. You need to be able to look in the mirror. The good folks here share their opinions I believe from their own experience and genuine concern for each other. But ultimately, the action you decide on is between you, Jabber and your son. My heart goes out to you dear, it is the most difficult journey. Hold tight to your husband and work together. The bond you have must be first and foremost. In the long run,[I] whatever your son decides to do with his life,[/I] your marriage and relationship is what needs to be kept strong to weather whatever the future brings. Looking back at the years spent dealing with the chaos of our daughters choices, my biggest regret is the hardship it put upon us as parents, a couple, [I]people[/I]. They continued on in their choices and left a trail of devastation, and to this day, are oblivious to the consequences we all reaped as a family. I am saddened that what turned out to be my last years, months and days with my soul mate were fraught with the chaos of our two daughters lifestyles. Time and unforeseen circumstance can effect any of us. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to take care and focus on your mate. It gives new meaning to vows taken "The two will become one flesh. What God has joined together, let no man put asunder." This applies to our adult children as well. My heart goes out to both of you.
