[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 702424, member: 15032"] Memedixie Stay strong. Get out of the house. Turn your phone off. Get away from your phone. Find some things that make you happy and give you peace. Live for YOU. He has to fix this himself. If YOU are there to fix things or take on his issues, HE will never change. YOU cannot live HIS life. He is not you. You are not him. I would have no contact with him for a LONG time if I were you. Let him sit in his own stew. I cut off all contact with my 21 year old for a month. He did speak to his father but not momma. He finally contacted me by email. That was the ONLY way he could even contact me. Did I rush to him after the email? No. I am now communicating but very cautiously. I cannot get caught up in his life again. My therapist told me that I can love him unconditionally, but our relationship has conditions. I did not know that and now I am living it. I will never go back to the way I was. If you are not seeing a therapist, you should consider it. It is better than talking everyone's ears off about it. I figured my friends were sick of hearing it. Find someone that has a background in addiction. It has helped me so much. Only strong people are able to face their pain and work through it. [/QUOTE]
