[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 555956"] Ok these are my thoughts having been in the same situation...and with my son now lliving on the streets having left his latest treatment program....first i think you did fine talking to the other mom. I am glad she contacted you and giving her the facts was the right thing to do in my opinion. Reality is your son probably wanted you to go shopping so you could pay for purchases, which is where their heads are at. It hurts when they just stay in touch because they want or need something. That said i still recommend you try to keep the doors open....and dont make it contingent on talking about issues because he may not want or be ready to do that, and that requriement will just put up barriers. So next time he texts ( or you might want to initiate) a suggestion to go out for coffee or a meal. Not shopping but buying him a meal always felt ok to me. TL [/QUOTE]
