Grateful, GiveLove, Sleepy, Painter, Hangin, Marle, and all moms of addicts---

Thank you for all your posts. Your words give me some peace in my anxiety and your wisdom some guidance. I am here today too, deep in the pain of being the mother of an A. Mine is still in my home and I just don't know what the right answer is anymore. I have walked this path with my exAH, and I know all the rules--detach, don't enable, yadayada. I can't seem to get it with my son yet. I suppose the pain isn't enough. I wish I could avoid it all today. I read and read each day and so admire your encouragement, ladies. It's so very helpful when, on a bad day you can be our cheerleaders, and on a good day, we can be yours. I haven't yet tried any face-to-face meetings, but am considering it. I am just so sad that the path my son has taken is going to lead down, down, down. Not feeling very strong today (home sick from work) and just feel like moving away, changing my phone number, and escaping to a commune.
