That is a WHOLE lot to endure. As the old saying goes - one thing at a time. Overall, is your son more helpful or draining to your survival? If you cannot take care of you, you cannot take care of him. If he does not learn to take care of himself - he will learn to live the way you have been living.

I hope you have support. I'm sure writing about it and getting it our of your head helps some. You son has to go manage his own life so you can manage yours. Easier said than done - I know. I wish you more better moments than bad moments. Take care!!
