[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760188, member: 15032"] I agree that treatment is a great thing BUT my son didn't take the first five or more seriously!! We spent SO MUCH MONEY and we may has well of flushed it down the toilet. He'd come home, do better for a month and then be right back at it!! I got my hopes up every time. Finally at the ripe old age of 20 I was SO DONE and we sent him to sober living in Florida. I swear I'm embarrassed to say but in some ways I just didn't care any more what happened to him. I felt if he didn't care why should I. Isn't that awful to admit?? He was ruining our lives and he hurt me so badly and I had tried everything humanly possible to help him. I.just.couldn't.anymore I had withdrawn from him and his dad dealt with him for a few years. I so needed that break. He continued to get worse in Florida and overdosed and we stood our ground that he could NOT come home and as a last resort we finally put him into a faith based program (Adult & Teen Challenge of Memphis) and he finally GOT IT!! I had almost given up hope of ever having a relationship with him again. Honestly it was my prayers that were answered. I prayed so hard for so long and nothing until there was something!! I wish we had done that sooner BUT sooner may not have worked so..... Get some help for yourself because you are the one that needs to have a clear head dealing with this. [/QUOTE]
