[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 716114, member: 15032"] Michelle: Agree with everyone here. This is tough stuff. We want it to be a certain way but it isn't. We have to face the reality of what it is. I'm doing that today myself because our son left sober living Monday and is using again. I can sit and worry and have my stomach torn to knots and try to work or I can mentally detach with love and turn it over to my higher being and know that everything happens for a reason. This is her journey and you are just along for the ride. I'm saying this to myself as I write this also. Our adult children have to figure out their life on their own. Substance abuse is not the answer but they won't listen to us. They have to figure it out. It is THEIR LIFE. Please know that you are not alone. There are many of us here suffering also and you know that the people here only represent a very small of those in our shoes. Our suffering doesn't help our children. It even helps us less. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
