Tough love works…my son will be 25 years old Sunday…they are men not kids,,,it took me a while to change my mindset, but we can’t save them, we can only support them ..and I only support him, when he’s trying to recover….they drain every emotion out of you, frustrate you, and lie….the worst thing is you want to believe their far stretched stories, well reality check..don’t believe a thing they say, don’t give them money because all your doing is enabling them to continue with their behaviour….t took me 4 years to realise I wasn’t enough, and my heart ached for the handsome, articulate lad I had who would do anything for anyone…..I now get support from a parent group , and will not be part of the problem…..I love my son completely, and always will, but will only support him, whilst he’s trying to get clean….stay strong ladies and read everything and anything you can…try and find local support groups and hold your heads up high xxxxx
