Welcome to SR, Trying.
The addict in my life is my exhusband (exah). We have an 8 yr old son together.
I am so sorry to hear about your son. The anger can be overwhelming sometimes, can't it? You've come to a great place. As you can see, there are lots of moms here who struggle with their child's addiction. Even though the addict in my life is my exhusband, I think many of the struggles and issues are the same. This site has been such a blessing to me. I've learned alot about addiction...and found a way to reclaim some sanity and peace in my life regardless of my exah might do. Even with all of the priceless knowledge that I've gained here, I have to say that the best part has been sharing my experience with people who really 'get it'. I remember feeling so alone...like no one could possibly understand what I was feeling or going thru...until I found SR.
I hope you get as much from this site as I have. I look forward to getting to know you better.
Welcome again...
