[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 698337, member: 17720"] RN, I am glad your husband and son had such a good visit. It sounds like they have a chance to work on their relationship, which is a wonderful thing. I wonder if husband was maybe still in a little bit of denial about son's situation. I think it was good that he got to see it for what it is, and to see that it is a transition setting for son, a place where he will be supervised and held accountable for his choices. A place he will want to move up from when he doesn't need that supervision anymore. That poor girl has had such a hard life, for one so young. You are right, it is not something you have any control over. I hope son is keeping his counselor in the know about it. I hope son and girlfriend are mindful of the potential traps. I think the substance abuse histories they share could definitely lead them down wrong paths, but that common ground could also be something they could use to strengthen their friendship and help them understand themselves a little better.
