[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 730170, member: 19290"] Gosh BBU. I feel your anxiety. With substance abuse detachment says to make choices based on our own reasonable boundaries, but also to realize that our snooping, police state and hypervigilence don’t change anything. That they are signs that boundaries have already been crossed and we have tried to take control of a runaway train With mental illness/mood disorders, I don’t know what the answer is. It feels right to try and stay informed and involved. He’s also a minor, too, right? Checking his online life from time to time and who his friends are is just responsible parenting I realize it’s more likely to inflame a kid with issues, but we wouldnt relinquish it with a normie Maybe one of the professionals in his life could give some feedback on how to gently gain back some transparency? My son is no longer a minor but has been secretive for many years. I chalked it up to the fact that he didn’t want his parents to know about his drugging and risky behaviors. And as counterintuitive as it seemed to stop trying to uncover them, I was relieved that al-anon principles let me abandon that futile responsibility. But it is uncomfortable not knowing what he’s up to. The imagination can fill in a lot. [/QUOTE]
