[QUOTE="Heavy hearted, post: 733210, member: 23067"] I am a new member and just read your post. It hit me so hard that I had to reply. I am in the same place you are. We had to tell my son to get his belongings and go yesterday. My husband and I have been enablers for the past 4 years with my 20 year old son. Alcohol, drug use and already has a felony record, probation violation and on the road to hell. We kept hoping and hoping and hoping he would snap out of it. I remember all the good he has inside. This is a child that used to sit hours with elderly and listen to their "back in the day stories". A person who is polite and has wonderful manners. Good and soft heartened, caring and mindful. I have cried, stopped eating and a total basket case. I have a daughter and a husband that I am trying to remain strong for. None of my family knows, I can't bring myself to tell them. My heart breaks for you and I hope the road we are traveling right now gets easier. I have looked for groups that I can attend that may help me and the rest of my family get through this. My son has burned s lot of bridges with his friends. He has np where to go and no money. The thoughts of him hungry and scared are killing me. I do realize that this is all in God's plan. I just feel so hurt and like a failure as a mom. [/QUOTE]
