Apologies and explanation

Hi, Janeene--

My heart goes out to you, and I commend you for taking steps now to address the problem.  However, please also remember that your son is an adult and that this is his problem, not yours.  I have siblings (now in their 40s) with similar problems and I have seen them suck my parents dry (mostly emotionally, but also financially), and I would hate to see that happen to you!

Hang in there, and don't forget to take care of yourself! 

O my goodness girly you so do not have to apologize for not posting. Life has incredible things happen that are out of our control. SO please do not be sorry.  I will be praying for you and your family.

You and Harley did awesome at the 4th of July 5K. I am so proud of you both. Now that you did one you now know you can do another. Keep up the great work both of you.

Thank you everyone.  Just got home from spending another whole day on things involving my son and the courts (since he's in detox-he has to delay his court ordered stuff) so I made sure all those ducks are in a row.  Took him toiletries etc. I really appreciate all the kind words and support  We're looking forward to a weekend  of taking care of ourselves and my younger son (who's the polar opposite of his brother)  We don't have to worry about a call in the middle of the night.....for a while we can relax and we're going to take advantage of it.  I'm exhausted right now, so I'm off to put my feet up. Thank you all again.

Your family is the most important thing and above all your family comes first. I will pray that your son gets the help he needs and I am grateful for him that you are the kind of parent who will go to any lengths to seek help for him even when he cannot do it for himself. Good on you Janeene and thank you for your well wishes!

Janeene, you take care of yourself and your family, and we'll be here to support you going thru this awful time.  You just never know what's going on in someones "real" life.  We'll keep you and your son in prayer that he gets straight .  God bless you.  Kim

My oldest daughter was a Meth user and my ex BF is an Alcoholic so *trust me* I get ya and want to extend you a shoulder to cry on and lend you an ear as well

I made 3 trips to rehab with the ex and tried to help my ex-husband help my daughter through jail, court and her rehab too- she's still a mess but a clean one right now as far as I know.

Honestly- this a great community but your life (and I mean EVERYONE'S life) comes first. Don't apologize- you don't need to....

 

i am really sorry you are going through all of this.  i will keep you and your family in my prayers.
