[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 706421, member: 15032"] StillStanding: It's hard to know how to comment without more information about your particular situation. In my personal situation, we tried everything under the sun to help our son but he did not want to change his ways. We left no rock unturned and would have gone to the ends of the earth for him to make his life better. Until I realized that it was all up to him! That I had to let go and let him do it. I was shocked to learn that. I thought parents were to fix it all....that we were magically supposed to have all the answers in keeping our child from his poor choices that resulted in suffering for him and us. For us it was not a sprint but a marathon. We are all better now since he is living apart from us - which is not something I wanted and practically begged him to follow the rules - but he is finally starting to care more about himself and take responsibility for his own life. It has not been easy. [/QUOTE]
