isitme,

Oh hon, what can I say???? Yes, I am sorry that you are going through this. It just never seems to end does it?? We as parents hurt so bad for our kids even when we are apart from them.

Isitme... You know deep in your heart that there isn't a darn thing that you can do for him. You can offer him help, or a shoulder to lean on, but that's it. he has to want to stop on his own. Until then it's just a waiting game. Will he, or won't he....

Crap, sometimes being a parent isn't fun at all. Sometimes it's down right awful..

(((((((((((((((((( HUGS )))))))))))))))))))))) Tons of them....

Thanks sid and hugs to you too. With us both being in a similar boat (re our child), I'm wondering if your child is a trigger? I know you have no contact and I've tried that, but it's not for me. Both contact and no contact have there benefits and pitfalls! Just venting it helps. Yes, I know there isn't a thing I can do..............

isitme,

The only thing you can do is take care of YOU.......Protect your emotions, don't let them spiral out of control. Try to be positive.

Take care hon,

Sid
