I'm having a hard day. I've watched my son (21 now) deteriorate for the last two years to the point where he is now--shooting heroin and facing poverty and homelessness within a few days.

I don't really know why I'm posting other than to ask for a brief but fervent prayer for my son whom I love with my whole heart. Please pray for him and all who suffer with this evil disease.

Other than that I am powerless.....

(((tjp))) - oh, sweetie, I'm sorry you're hurting. I'm sending LOTS of hugs and prayers for both you and your son.

I'm so sorry, tjp. Of course prayers are going out for your son and others, but also, for you, because although we know we are powerless over addiction, it still hurts. ((((HUGS))))

I'm so sorry and he will be in my prayers. I can't imagine how sad and helpless that must feel. (((hugs)))

Had the same sense of overwhelming saddness and impotence when my then 19 year old daughter went down the same path.

Letting go is a painful process.

Absolutely you have my prayers for your son and you both.

Sending gentle hugs to your hurting heart.

You're courageous too; that's what it takes to acknowledge powerlessness and reach out for support, comfort.

Prayers on the way for you and your family

My prayers and love to you and your son. God is with us and even in the darkest moments, letting go will bring you peace.
Hugs,
