[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 757464, member: 24254"] Dear AM, there really is nothing else to do or be done. You have raised this child, he is an adult, and his adult choices are his to make and learn from (or not). I know this hurts like hell and is so very scary with substance abuse. You have stopped giving him money or enabling him. That is excellent because it will force him to live the consequences of his choices when they come. Now you can take care of yourself, and get the focus off him. And by doing that, you will actually contribute positively to your son's life as you model behaviors that are serving an individual. I would strongly suggest Al-Anon or Nar-Anon to you. They have excellent online meetings during Covid and when everything opens back up, you can probably find local meetings in your area. This will be the biggest support and help you can find for yourself. There is no unhappiness to big to be bettered. You can learn to smile regardless of what your son is doing or not doing. Much love to you. [/QUOTE]
