[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 619276, member: 15801"] Thats interesting.... I dont think my son has ever been told not to be in touch with people he has met in treatment. My sense is that friends made in treatment can be either positive or negative depending on whether or not they stay in recovery. Certainly they are people that our difficult children can relate to and that can be positive. The issue of women though is a whole other ball game.... that is an issue for my son too.... attraction and trouble but as an adult I have no say in the matter and always hope the girls are a good influence (and someimes they are.... and sometimes they are a disaster). I think all good coed programs do not allow sexual relationships while they are in treatment. I think in this day and age with social media it is unrealistic to think that people will not stay in touch..... and so maybe instead of just saying no there needs to be more focus on how to go with good influences and not bad ones. I have no idea if you should be worried or not.....because we dont know anything about the people he is in touch with. I think it is natural for him to want to stay in touch with people he connected with, especially in this day of super internet connections. So I would base my worries or joys on how he seems to be doing in general. Is he keeping to your rules? How is school? Other interests? Sleep patterns etc. TL Sent from my iPad using ConductDisorders [/QUOTE]
