[QUOTE="elmo1015, post: 604324, member: 16749"] I found a CoDA meeting kinda near me on Sundays. I wanted to go but forgot about it when it came time to go and was not near the meeting when I realized I was missing it. I have started reading Codependent No More and will continue to work through the activities in order to help myself. I have been visiting difficult child almost daily since he was arrested. During our last visit he admitted he had a problem and asked for help. Although, there are little hints in his words that make me wonder if he is just saying this to get out and when he does, it isn't going to change anything. I want to believe him, it's just really difficult given his past. I feel as though, I am on "pause" while he is in there. I know I shouldn't be but I can't bring myself to do anything except think about him. I go through motions in a fog. I am really scared for my difficult child, I don't know what happened to get him to this point. He keeps saying he wants to be there for the birth of his son, but his actions haven't shown me that. After speaking with his probation officer, she made me wonder if the treatment center will even "treat" him for it. After typing that, I decided to call and found. They will treat him for it but they do it on an outpatient basis. I am not sure that will help him. But they are the only resource in the area. I honestly believe that he was on his way to recovery with the second program he was in, but aged out of the program before he was ready to end it. It's sad really because he was doing well. Thanks for listening again. I wish I could get out of this "fog". [/QUOTE]
