[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760887, member: 15032"] I am so sorry and your puppy picture is so adorable. You didn't cause this. None of us have/did. It most likely had nothing to do with OUR parenting because if it did, we wouldn't be here trying to fix it. Keep posting and reading. You will gain knowledge and strength. You cannot change your son. Only he can change himself. Blah blah blah it may sound like but it is the truth and all of us here have been down this path and we KNOW. Read our stories. I've been here for a long time. You need to take care of yourself. Your suffering will NOT help your son. It will only make you weak and sad. Do you have a support group of any type? Husband, friends, etc. I went to one on one therapy because Alanon wasn't what I needed at the time. Too many sad stories. I needed to focus on my own problems and what I needed to do to adjust and adapt. My therapist taught me to create firm but loving boundaries. If you have faith, pray hard every day for your son and also for yourself. I never gave up. Guess what? It worked. My son is on a good path now. If I had not done all the things that I did, I may have not had a happy ending. Hugs for your broken heart, stay strong and we are here for you. :grouphugg: [/QUOTE]
