[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 731039, member: 15032"] So true that we cannot CONTROL any of it. Sigh. If we could....well this forum would not exist! It's so hard to accept it. We do not want our son to go back to his ex even though she is adorable and lovely and doesn't party. Husband feels strongly that they are too codependent. He doesn't want him to go backwards in ANY way to anything he did "before". Her father died of a cocaine overdose when she was 12. Her mother died last year from sclerosis of the liver (from drinking). Her half brother is a recovered addict. She has suffered greatly from loving addicts. She is in college but texts me every so often to say how much she misses J. They never really "broke up" but he cannot have contact of any kind with anyone other than us. Amen to that rule. Of course she lives in Florida and we are moving to the coast of Alabama near the Panhandle so they will be closer. In the end we know we cannot control it but we can only make our wishes known. LBL I'm glad to hear your son is talking about HIS future and his goals now for the first time in a very long time (if ever? not sure). We really cannot worry about things that may or may not happen...I guess. I'm telling myself that also. Just tell them how we feel about their decisions. [/QUOTE]
