I have just joined this group too and would be interested in being part of a re-started group. I am currently reading the book and just finished the assemble a support group chapter...so here I am. :). My current difficult relationship is with my mother however different perspectives would still be helpful I think. :)

I just joined and would like to be a part of an on line support group. My son is 32 just got out of hospital from a sickness related to alcohol abused. He is on methadpne and about to be homeless. He wants help.he says but I have already payed for one rehab so I am not doing I again. I feel bad because I know the situation is going to get worse when he becomes homeless.I read the boundaries book and I need a supper group to get feedback from.

I have just joined as I am rereading the book Setting Boundaries With Your Adult Children. I know of no support in the small area that I live. I would like to rekindle this group. My husband died 6 months ago and my youngest adult daughter moved home while my husband was ill to spend time with him. She is still here and as always has no direction, stays up all night sleeps all day. She has had three jobs in this short time and is currently not working. She has stolen from me, cost me money that I fronted her etc. etc. She has wrecked her dads truck which he gave her before he died. (Still in my name, soon to change). I have started to say no to her, which causes her to try laying the guilt trip on me. I know that I must be strong and continue to say no to her. Why is this so hard? Especially during this time of grief for both of us it is even harder.

IT is really hard to stop bailing out your kids. I am determined to stop throwing money at my son and hope that he will be responsible for himself. THis group was dormant for a long time. I am interested in restarting it too.

I would like go see this group get started again. I have just started reading the book setting boundaries with your adult children. My daughter is 18 and has moved in with a level 3 sex offender

Our son was abusing K2 (herbal marijuana substitute with unknown chemicals added), and we had to cut him off. He wound up homeless, carless, and phoneless. He went to a shelter where he had to stay clean, and after 2 weeks he agreed to go for drug abuse counseling. We bailed his car out of the police lot and brought him to our house. His former employer took him back part-time. Our challenge now is to help him stay off drugs while he finds a job that will earn enough so he can take care of his car, which is sitting at his sister's. It helps that he is looking forward to a visit from his long-distance girlfriend.

I have been reading "Get Your Loved One Sober: Alternatives to Nagging, Pleading, and Threatening" while our son is spending the winter with us. He seems to be in recovery, but has not turned his life around yet and we live with suspicion. We hope by spring to find him another place to stay, at which point we will have to get the cigarette smoke out of our guest room!

Sounds great and it great to have a team

My son is abusing kush from smokeshops, Is there a Houston group? or to assist on starter group..
