Thank Ann.
It must have been such a nightmare, everyday, for you. I am happy that you have your life back now.
I have tried everything I know to help, trying not to enable, but I can see that this is what is happening now. He is making no forward progress. Just isolating in his room when he is here (which is most of the time unless his friends need help or have a party and come get him) he has no friends in this town. He has worked a week(approx.) in every business in town, it seems... burned bridges there , for sure.
I get strength from hearing the shares of other moms. We feel all alone, but obviously, we are not.
love and hugs
