[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 678904, member: 15032"] Thank you so much Leafy. I appreciate the time you took and your thoughtful and wise words. Your response brought me to tears but it helps me gain strength and knowledge and I that is something that I need right now. I know I know but I do not want him to have a felony so I am hesitant to report what he has done but I certainly can use it as a way to get him to go to rehab - letting him know that we can report it. He is terrified of getting a felony so I could use that to my advantage. I am very fortunate to have this board and good friends that are very supportive. I may go back to counseling too. I was also on an antidepressant many years ago when this all hit us (like being hit by a train) and not even knowing what was going on but really am so much stronger now but have a long way to go. In the past I never would have thought of sending him to a shelter or sober living (after rehab) but now I am ready. My husband is very strong (German) and says he wants his life back. The only thing I have asked of him is to show love rather than anger. And it is SO HARD for men sometimes. We are both so so angry and disappointed. Our son is so smart and so handsome and loving (like most of our kids) and it's just hard to get it when they have so much going for them. Maybe it's good that it's coming to a head. I don't know. I told my husband last night that sometimes great things come out of horrible things. I don't know if I read that or made it up but it's a hopeful statement when you are at your lowest. [/QUOTE]
