[QUOTE="missy44, post: 231948, member: 6201"] Good news, well at least for today. My son got on a plane and has gone to visit his dad (other side of the country). My ex offered him a one way ticket to get away and straighten his life out. My son originally said no, my ex said "this is your last offer". Two days later he called and said he wanted to come. The plan for now is about a 2 week visit, but my son took pretty much everything he owns with him (including his hockey equipment). A few years ago, when my ex moved for work, I would have been devastated if my son had moved away. Funny how things change. I really think my ex may be able to get through to him. I have also been worried about my son's drug use (to date we only know that he uses pot) of course I visualize the absolute worst case scenario in my mind. At least I know that he can leave the "drugs" and walk away from them for now. My ex is like me in that regard (NO DRUGS). Maybe, just maybe, someone is answering my wishes. I miss my son so much but am so delighted that he is away from his friends, etc... Could this be the eye opening experience we're waiting for? Maybe not, but for today, I'm going to let myself walk on cloud nine. My son has had many opportunities in life, a great home, numerous competitive sports with travel, loads of family members who love him, great grades in school with letter effort put forth: I'm hoping that he's missing all of it. Thanks everyone for sharing in my ups and downs. I hope that when I'm in a better place I can help others.... [/QUOTE]
