[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 715906, member: 15032"] Littleboylost: It's hard not to be so close to it when it's your only child. I get it because our two others are 8 years older so our Difficult Child is like an only child too. This is all beyond hard. There is no way to sugar coat any of it. They say what they think we want to hear. They don't want to hurt us but they can't help themselves. They want to do what they want to do. They give us a glimmer of hope and we soar. They screw up and we fall hard. There is no easy fix. There is no quick fix. I rarely hear of someone your sons age "getting it". I am still on the highway to hell with almost 22 year old. I am sick to death of it all. My son is in sober living - most would rejoice - but I know he is not where he needs to be mentally with this addiction thing. He is nowhere near where he needs to be. Moms know these things. He has been more than educated on addiction and what HE needs to do. I felt it was my job to at least provide that and we have. Again and again and again. I am almost too knowledgeable on it truth be told. So today I am going to try to not focus on him and the chaotic life he chooses to lead. I don't get it. Things could be so good. [/QUOTE]
