[QUOTE="sadandfrustrated, post: 676524, member: 19612"] Hey guys.. well, I've seen him a few times since his miraculous recovery and I'm not buying it. I think he cut down a lot but I doubt very much he's off the pills completely. I think he's taking enough just enough to function. He still looks better than before though, and he's still working so that's a plus. I can't even say I'm disappointed because I had my doubts that he had gotten off the pills anyway. At least he's doing something positive with his life.. maybe sobriety will follow. But, it's his life. I can't do an damn thing to change it anyway, so c'est la vie. It's his life to live as he chooses. It's not numbness that I feel Leafy. I'm beyond that. Numbness implies caring too much and being overwhelmed and confused. Now I can honestly say I view my son with dispassion. Before when I'd see my son I'd see him as [I]my baby boy who was on drugs[/I].. Viewing him dispassionately isn't something that I consciously do, or have to make an effort to do or even made the choice to do. That's just the aftermath of having my family heirloom ring that meant oh so much to me... disappearing. It was like a switch had been thrown for me and suddenly I saw him not as my baby boy on drugs, but the drug addicted adult that he is. [/QUOTE]
