Hi, Bonnie. Another mother with a 26 yo addicted son.
Just wanted to welcome you into the fold.
My son lives with a gf and is under a doctor's care for bi-polar disorder.
Recently, I told him, that I wish I could just shake him until he "snaps" out of his way of thinking. Not gonna happen. I try to step outta God's way and let things happen the way they need to happen for him. Cause I know in my heart that I can't cure him. Your doing the right thing by learning about detaching, enabling, and codependency. It's a long, hard, road for us moms.
I'm glad you decided you needed to climb aboard a "bandwagon".
It's a win-win decision. Keep coming back.
Hugs from one mom to another,
Linda
