I'll be praying for you and your family.... My daughter went though what your son is now doing, he'll come to you when he is ready.

My mum is just like you. She loves us so much that she tries to push us the way she wants us to go. She wants us to learn from her mistakes and not our own. Unfortunately it doesn't work like that.

I am the first to admit she is always right. At the time I go against her and with what I want thinking I am making the right choice and I can just about guarantee that when she says the opposite to me she is usually right in the end.

But as teenagers and adults we need to make our own choices and be faced with the consequences of those decisions. We need to learn and grow from our own mistakes.

Never loose faith, always be there to listen, never judge and be supportive. This is all you can do and in the end he will learn the hard way. As a mother you want to stop him going through the 'hard' things but it is the only way he will grow as a person.

I wish you all the strength to get through this tough time. I am praying for you.

Hi Lisa

keep praying.....its the most powerful tool we have

I added some links which may help........

Im sure he knows already however keep your son aware at all times you are available no matter what state he is in

we're all praying,

love rue

All you can do for him at this moment is to be there to pick up the peaces when needed.  For now you have to sit back and watch him make his own mistakes is the hardest thing you will ever have to do.

Please remember this is his life his choice and in the end his decision. Yes he needs help but untill he decides to then......

My thoughts are with you,  Lisa

I'm praying for you hun!!!

i hope your son realizes soon what he is doing to himself and his family

i am thinking of you through this hard time

love belxx

Not a happy little soul, I feel for you all. We all try to do our best and hope that the choices our children make are for the best, sadly no guarentees. I hope he comes round soon and starts to talk, he sounds if he is in a lot of pain and confusion. I send you best wishes and hope your baby finds the help that is there, from Mum when he is ready.

Luv,Winnie.xxxx

How heart breaking for you

I will be praying for you constantly and I'm glad you felt able to be honest and able to vent on here. What a terrible situation for you
