Hi,
My son is 22 and has a problem with cocaine and drinking that he is in denial about and I have just started the tough love approach and I am struggling very badly with the "what if" thinking and the worrying. How the hell am I going to get through every single day without crying and worrying? How did this all happen? Why is he not seeing that he has a problem? and why won't he take advice from anyone, even his therapist, to seek help? He has a court date for his last DUI on Feb. 27 and he will lose his license and that is just going to depress him even further.
He does not live with me as he chose to do nothing with his life after high school so he was given a year to either further education or move out and get a real job.
The path he has chosen is a very sad one and I sometimes feel that I pushed him down this path. So I was trying to find a group meeting but in my area where heroin is running through the schools like crazy, there are just no meetings, which means either everyone is in denial or there are people like me sitting home with their little secret and not sure how to deal with it. I am glad to have found this forum and am hoping to find support through all of your experiences past and present.
Thank you
