I made a big step with my AS today. After finding him last night passed out on the couch with a beer in his hand, I (we my husband and I) finally had enough and told him of our boundries. Should of been done 3 months ago but it took this in order for us to say anything. also 3 months going to f2f meetings. We told him in order for him to live in our house that there is no drinking and drugging here. Why was that so hard for me to tell him 3 months ago? I don't know but I was able to say it today to him with out yelling or crying. I have to say I feel very good about my progress today!
well done , 3 months ago you werent ready to set the boundary today you are now comes the hard part , sticking to it . Courage comes in small doses dont be too hard on yourself . Louise
Those face to face meetings are where it is at!! Wonderful progress and agreed you are helping your son by saying what you mean and meaning what you say without saying it mean!!
Hugs AND congrats!! P :)

Keep up the great work! I love boundaries and it took me months to learn to set them and stick to them, but with them came serenity. Sending you love and support!
