[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 761252, member: 15032"] Welcome. You cannot control your son and his choices. He is a grown man and he has to decide what kind of life HE wants to live. There are never any guarantees that they will not relapse or make mistakes BUT they need to suffer the consequences of that, not us as parents. The fact that he has a good job and is stable is a very positive thing and you should try to focus on that. You're worrying will NOT help him and only hurt your health, mental health etc. I think that our adult children should be on their own. When they live in our home we normally worry more and ask more questions. My son is 26 and in college and lives with us after a horrible teenage year experience (read some below) and since has turned it around. He will be moving back to our hometown in August. I think it's time my husband and I take our lives back. All we can give our grown sons at this point is our love and prayers. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
