I'm sorry, I know first hand how hard it is to watch as they stumble along a path leading no where.
Things can get better, and often do...but only when he reaches out for help.
In the meantime, and for lack of a better option, your time may be well spent taking care of you.
I know its probably not the solution you were hoping for, it wasn't what I was looking for either when I came here.
But eventually, and with some strong coaxing here, I allowed myself to give up responsibility for my son's happiness to his and my HP.
I couldn't be happy for him, and me being unhappy with him changed nothing.
So I decided to let him work it out, trust my HP to keep an eye on him, and work on finding that gal who used to be happy...me.
Slowly (very s-l-o-w-l-y) I began to notice things, and maybe view things differently. I began to focus more on the blessings in my life, and I had many. It was just his actions and his addiction had overshadowed all that was good in my life. And that was because I let it.
Take a moment and rest your weary heart, walk with us for a spell.
Prayers that you find peace along the way
((((hugs)))
