124MarkerLane:
Welcome to the community.
I became a member of SR in 2010. At that point in time, I was continually and desperately trying to save my teenage son from his risky behaviors and drug-seeking lifestyle. I was in a very bad place, physically and mentally, and I am grateful I have had the opportunity to participate and learn, here at SR.
Maybe check out the "stickys" as dear Ann had suggested in her post.
Otherwise, my almost 30yo son has been on his own for years (he moved out of my home about eight years ago). We occasionally speak and even less so, see each other. But when we do, it is generally positive.
I eventually did come to see that it was best that he moved on with his life and I with mine.
