[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 716844, member: 15032"] Welcome: My son was also diagnosed with CD at age 15. I was devastated but I have since read that's not really such a bad diagnosis and many grow out of. As you can see by my signature, my son has been drugging since age 15 and he will be 22 in a few weeks. He is in rehab right now and after his latest incident - long story - I asked them if they thought he was bi-polar. They said they would never diagnose someone when they are actively using because that can mimic many mental illnesses. That makes sense to me and that could be the case with your son also. Drugs make one crazy. What you have done is very difficult abut it was the right thing to do. Your son is out of control and you can see by having him live with you things were not going to get better for him or you. Does anyone else live in your home? Do you have any support? I think that either group therapy or individual therapy would be helpful to you. I see a therapist and it has helped me. We have to stay strong because there is no quick fix unfortunately and the longevity of dealing with this is debilitating. Do you live in the US? I agree that the so called "experts" can leave your mind boggled. Does your son attend school? With our son we finally said rehab or out. He'd been to rehab many times and would be okay for a while then go right back to it. After that we moved him to Florida so he could figure it out without making our lives a living hell. We love our son to the moon and back but he has to decide what kind of life he wants to live. I never dreamed we'd still be doing this by this age. We are very fortunate that we have great insurance. There is an article on detachment that you may want to read on the main forum page. It will help you see your son as a separate person. It was helpful to me. Also keep reading (and posting too) as many others will offer their advice. This forum has helped me tremendously. Just know that you are not alone. Most of us are in the same boat in some way or another just wanting our adult or almost adult children to be happy and healthy. :group-hug: [/QUOTE]
