Hey Babegirl, I can hear your panic, and I am so sorry things are so rough for you right now. Take a few deep breathes now, okay? Sounds like your mother is at the end of her rope..and her expressions are most likely coming from deep pain and prolonged frustration watching her son progress through the stages of addiction..but hon the only person you can take care of is YOU. My brother is an addict and alcoholic too, and goes to jail off and on for various things he does while drunk/high. It tears me up inside but I have come to the point I can only pray for him and wish the best..but I have to take care of myself, I am responsible for how I feel..no matter what we have to make a choice to make the best of it by really looking after ourselves, yes acknowledge the pain, cry, write in a journal, talk to a close friend, get on here and vent away....we'll listen..and we care and won't judge you. Hope you get to feeling better soon..Now remember to take some deep breathes, okay?
