[QUOTE="maril, post: 366350, member: 5937"] I'm so sorry you are in this position. You are obviously well aware that in order to help your son, he must face consequences for his actions and that enabling him only prolongs (all of your) pain and lessens the likelihood for positive change. Indeed, it is very difficult when parents are not on the same page. My husband and I are now on the same page as far as my 18yo son goes but it was not always that way . Personally, I came to realize that I was probably the "weakest link" in our family and have steadily been working away from that designation; however, it is not easy and I have to keep on my toes. I have a good support system. Others have good input. I agree with attending Nar-Anon meetings and seeking professional counsel. [/QUOTE]
