[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 759784, member: 15032"] Miracle I am sorry that you are going through this with your son. Our son was a wonderful son until age 15. As you can sell by my signature we have gone through A LOT with him. My son was really bad at the age of 20 and had been in several rehabs. We finally sent him out of state to sober living at that age and he did good for a bit (I had high hopes) but then spiraled out of control for another year or so until we got him into a Christian based program. Prior to that he was getting worse yet begging to come home. Hell no! I was no about to go back to that nightmare. At that time I also had to pull back for myself. I felt like I would have a nervous breakdown if I did not. My husband, his father, took the reins for some time. My husband was so much better equipped to deal with it than I was. During this very difficult time I saw a therapist that specialized in addiction, talked to close friends, found this site and prayed a lot. That is what got me through it all. I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy and I really mean that. I was very close to my son prior to this so maybe that is why it hurt so bad. I think some of us love deeper than others do and it is a curse and a blessing. I think you have to go with your gut. Do what you feel is best. Your son will do what he will do. He is still very young so can turn this around but it's up to HIM and not in your control - I learned this the hard way. Prayers, Hugs and keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
