Lynn, I am so sorry for all that you have been through. I have no doubt that you raised your son right. I am proud of the stance you are taking. I could very well be just what he needs. Stay strong my dear. (((HUGS)))

Thank you all for your words of encouragement and strength and love. I am sorry that some of you have walked in my shoes. I applaud each and every one of you for getting through your difficult times. I know by your stories that I will get through this. I know so many more are in need of our support right now and my issues are minimum, but I thank you again for lifting my spirit and letting me smile through my tears. May the angles kiss you all gently while you sleep and keep you safe. With much love and gratitude for your kindness, Mama Lynn

Oh, Lynn, I wish I could take all of your pain away. You deserve so much more than this. Just know that by making him accountable for his actions you are doing what is in his best interest. At some point, all you can do is pray for him and hope that he will do what he needs to do. I'm glad that you took the day off so that you can see for yourself what a difference you're making in your granddaughter's life. I'll keep you in my prayers, my friend. {{{hugs}}}

Oh Lynn..even after fwd'ing Helen's power point to you I didn't actually know the circumstances. I'm just this morning finding your thread. I'm so sorry for what you're going through with your son. I raised a somewhat combative son myself, who is in no uncertain terms an alcoholic. It was very difficult for me as I'm not a drinker myself and can't understand first hand. Over the years he's matured and even though he still drinks he has managed to put priorities into his focus. It's hard though..waiting for that 3:00 am abusive phone call from him to say how horrible both his parents were to him. It hasn't happened in a long time but.....I know this can't compare with what your son has attempted to do to himself and how you must hurt. Praying that you can somehow forgive him and that he can get the help he desperately needs. {{{Lynn}}}

I know you will always pray for him, honey. Just don't let him hurt you anymore.
At a certain point, we have to let our adult children go and grow on their own. We can't save them. They need to save themselves. And not all of them do.
Now all of us here will start praying for him, and we will continue to pray for you.
Parenthood is never easy, and it should not be this painful. Just please remember how much we love and honor you.

Oh Mama Lynn, big hugs for you! You are doing the right thing, though I know it's painful. My prayer is that you will be strong and he will find the right path. It took 25 years for my brother (longer really but that was the first time we banded together and didn't bail is his butt out). Then last year, days before mom died, I had to get a protective order against him. He was allowed to come home for two hours when mom had the last rites. Now, he is drug free (he's on methadone which is a godsend) and a productive member of society and more importantly our family. What will happen after daddy goes? Who knows. But for now he is okay. My prayer is that your son will learn to stand on his own two feet. It may take years but if you stay strong and true to yourself then no matter when he turns it around (and it could be never) at least you know you did your best and YOU are not responsible for his life. Hugs and prayers {{{LYNN}}}
