Welcome Jrose123,

I've been where you are with my son. I know that it can make you feel suicidal at times. I think the reason I felt that way was because I felt trapped in a situation that I couldn't change and I didn't feel there was an escape. It felt so hopeless.

There is hope and you will learn a lot here that will strengthen your coping skills and you'll start feeling better. Don't give up just yet. Keep coming back. Half the battle is finding support and not feeling so alone with it all. You might try to find an al-anon meeting in your area where you can find some face to face support to help you through this.

Huge hugs,
MG
