[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 690469, member: 19069"] Somewhereoutthere, you don't need to apologize at all, we have all been through it on here. My fear of my son dying comes from the fact that he used heroin and I have heard/read so many heartbreaking stories of relapse and overdose. I've tried to do everything I can do to save him. I just found out about the heroin not long ago. Unfortunately, it's a frightening fact that anyone who abuses drugs may die. I'm definitely trying not to let my whole life revolve around this fear like I have in the past. I'm sorry to make you cry RN and you're right on about the trip. We don't leave till this Wednesday. Copabanana, I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and I hope you love your new job and transition back to work goes smoothly. Staying busy helps me keep my mind of things. My husband came home for lunch today and he was actually a little funny and sweet to me so hopefully he's coming around and getting over his pouting. Although, my son has never done anything directly to us, like steal from us, bother us for money, his choices have definitely greatly affected me and our family. He has told lies on me , he has talked bad to me and I'm sure not defending him because that's never acceptable but that's usually when I've been harassing him about what on earth was going on with him, telling him how to live his life. I have helped my son greatly financially also. That's been when I've made some type of agreement with him and he hasn't held up to his end of the deal. (Like failing school) He has been informed that's not happening anymore. I'm just trying to come to grips with the fact that my dreams for him didn't come true and it is what it is!! I haven't give up hope though. I have been reading the book Codependent No more and it is helping me realize that I've been codependent on my husband also. I was reading it due to my sons situation. I've been trying to pack today and all of my clothes are too big. When I get stressed I just can't eat at all, makes me gag. Thanks again for all the support!! [/QUOTE]
