[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 724622, member: 15032"] Lost - So sorry you are going through this and I know how much it hurts. So ready - I completely agree with your post and everything in it. My son is 22 and is still considered "so young". I often wonder when people stop saying that he is so young. Is it 25, 28 or even 30? That is when the real panic will set in if he does not change his ways. When people no longer refer to him as being 'so young'. Time waits for no one. So much time has been wasted. They just can't see it. Lost - the holidays are always so hard for so many and I myself dreaded them before my son even had a drug problem because I lost my parents at a young age and I always have had to fight off sadness during the holidays for some reason. Now with my son being in and out of rehabs for almost seven years, the holidays are just a reminder of what isn't right in my life. I am thankful for those things that are right though and try to focus on those things as much as I can. Part of me is sick since my son is sick. I don't recall if you see a therapist but if not you might think about doing that. It does help to have an unbiased opinion and has helped me to create boundaries for my son and myself. Loving them just isn't enough. This is tough stuff and I can't even pretend I can do it alone. [/QUOTE]
