Hi Kindeyes,
You are so right! It is damned hard to let someone you love free fall! I know I need to just let go. My husband has managed to detach and of course that hasn't gone over very well with our son. I have continually allowed myself to get reeled in.
I look at what my son has put himself through these past 5 years and can not imagine living that lifestyle. Oh my GOSH!!! It is sad to see how much they will endure and how low they will sink for their drugs, time and time again!
Kindeyes I can only imagine how hopeful you are that your son stays on the path of recovery. Praise GOD!!
Understandably it's a major challenge but I also want to believe that they can get out of their rut and have a life without drugs and alcohol. My younger sister is an R.N., and has been clean for 12 plus years and hasn't looked back!
