[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 718422, member: 13542"] Nessie, I am so sorry about your son. The only way I know to manage this is for us, the parents, to get as much support as we can and start to focus on ourselves. Whatever choices you make about your son, make sure you get support thru counseling, 12 step groups, whatever you can find to bring the focus back on to you and the rest of your family. We have to re-learn how to nourish ourselves, how to be kind to ourselves and to nurture ourselves.......our kids choices deplete and exhaust us and without putting that attention back on ourselves, we begin to self destruct..... You may find some solace in the article on detachment at the bottom of my post here. Hang in there Nessie, keep posting, get support, do something nice for yourself today..... [/QUOTE]
