[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 740353, member: 19522"] HI HelplessDear sister, please do not worry about negative posts, most of us are here trying to sort through all of this very difficult stuff. It sure doesn't make for a chat with a neighbor, or coffee break talk. Vent away when you need to. The positive in it, is there are parents here who understand, have been through similar issues and can offer support. Oh boy. Well, the good thing is that he did show ability to be clean. Maybe his father can research alternatives to high school, seems there is some infuence going on there. No, it is not wrong that you distance yourself from him. He needs to learn how to treat his mother with respect, have respect for your home and his siblings. This is very wise of you, Helpless. I spent many a year trying to help my two, especially Tornado and my three grands. What that did, was rob my youngest daughter and son of peace in our home. It was not fair to them to have to witness and live through the chaos. You are doing the right thing, protecting your littles in their home. It is very important to take good care of yourself. This is heart wrenching to go through. I hope you are able to take time and either seek counseling, or a group, anything to build yourself up. I hope you are feeling better. Keep posting, it really helps to write it out and get feedback. Don't worry about negative or positive posts, we are here for one another. You are not alone. (((HUGS))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
