[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692003, member: 1550"] Tough love is a biotch. When I made my daughter leave, and she was only 19, her last words to me were "I will hate you forever!" Her words rang in my head for three weeks, until I found out she was ok and she still wouldn't talk to me. Like everyone else, I doubted my decision. I felt dead inside. I think everyone who has had a child who abused drugs get it. RN, relapse is a part of recovery. My daughter "quit" three times before it was permanent. Don't give up on him yet. He fessed up and sounds remorseful. Our kids relapse because they are addicts. They crave the drugs. They are working against the cravings. It's hard. RN, you can not force your son into rehab. You are giving him options though. It is up to him to take the help. My daughter was never in rehab and she quit. Never went to AA/NA. She only had her boyfriend to help. She did not tell us she was quitting. Again. The fourth time was the charm. I would not send him money. That is a temptation to buy drugs. But I'd keep expressing the knowledge that he is smart and you know he will pick himself up from thisb(even if you aren't sure you mean it). This could just be a normal blip in his recovery. Hang on tight and see what happens. My daughter had to be clean a year before I believed she'd make it. It is so hard. Crossing my fingers, toes and eyes and holding your hand tight. Take one day at a time. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
