> He went to rehab Monday. I can't even be relieved because I'm dreading when he gets out. I know that I have babied/enabled him too much and helped make him dependent rather than independent. I really hate to say this but it is so serene without him there that I really don't want him back when he's out. I don't know if they have placement services such as a halfway house or something but I think that both of us need to be separated from each other. I don't know if I can survive taking him back and I don't think that anything would change.
*********I'm so glad he's in rehab. For how long? I would imagine that the rehab place has a social worker for the families or something to help you cope & plan. I bet folks at your NA family group might have experience or info about that*******
> He's always had problems getting jobs even though he is quite intelligent...more trouble keeping them when you are ADHD and on drugs.
**********I can relate. My son has ADD & has always had trouble holding a job. ******I am going to go to a NA meeting that is for families tonight. I'm sure I'll end up crying some more and embarrass myself...I'm getting good at it.
*****Probably most of the people there were the very same as you, so don't worry about it!*******

> If I would have known that kids could hurt this much I would never have had them.
****I can relate to this also. I feel the same way******
It kills me to see him hurt so much and for me to feel like my life is falling apart around me too.
********I know what you mean. These past weeks have been like that for me also.*****
Thanks for the moral support...I can use all that I can get.
*********you're welcome. This is a great place for support. I wish you the best. Good that you're thinking about taking care of yourself. Please try to go through firmly with what you were saying. I sure as heck wish I had done that when my problems were similar to yours, instead of having my son suicidal; psychotic & certified in the psych ward, wondering if he'll EVER be a normal human being.
Try to be strong. I wish I had been able to.****hugs, Kath
