[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 619518, member: 17269"] You know, he is smart to know he needs to stay away for now. That line could be read as punitive or manipulative, but I don't think so. I think he needs to be out of the place of bad patterns. ONe of the half-way houses my son was in, half way across the state, said to me that he couldn't come home again...ever. Because the place they failed before is the place they are most likely to fail again. I was horrified, but I will say over the years that looks kind of true. YOur son is a little different, since he has a histroy of success in your house and the failure patterns are more recent. But RIGHT NOW, int he place he is in in his head, and where you are in your relationship...changing venues is really smart and good for both of you, and it gives me some hope (and comfort for your aching heart) that he recognizes that. Thanks for the update. Echo [/QUOTE]
