[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 715898, member: 13303"] This won't answer your question about your son, but I encourage you to start focusing on yourself rather than him. Al-Anon has been a godsend for me and I strongly recommend it. It will help you learn to detach with love and eventually, set a firm boundary with your son. It will help you to let go of his choices and even your husband's, and to keep the focus on you. I know this might be a frustrating answer, but from this vantage point at least, it seems like you might be too close to the action to consider your options rationally. It would be impossible for me NOT to be emotional too, so I get it. I am sorry he continues to struggle. I hope you will consider giving Al-Anon another shot - I think you may have mentioned you tried it in the past and did not like it. Each meeting has a somewhat different character, so I really encourage you to try again. It has made a huge difference in my life. [/QUOTE]
