Learning that my son has been using tylenol extra strength for over eight years now is painful. What is even more painful is to learn that while he has been using, I truly did not know. He seemed really intense but he has always been a kind of nerdy child extremely smart. The sad part is the healing process may bring a reality check to a lot of areas of his life, relationships, and his marriage. It is like his whole life is a lie. The reality check for me is the seriousness of his addiction is the first part of knowing what role I played in as an enabler to his addiction. My support and love and focus is first and foremost for his life, wanting him to live and not die prematurely. I will continue to pray and know that he, not me is responsible for his getting help. If there are any mothers out there who have gone through this, please give me your suggestions.

I am not a mother, but I surely can relate to your situation. Addiction is a b**** and it surely sucks for all involved. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully something here will resonate so you can move forward.
