[QUOTE="Prima, post: 515877"] I'm sorry if this comes across as mean but I know personally as long as we continue to wipe their butts, they will not stand on their own. This is his rehab and his time to learn the tools he will need to lead a clean life. I know you want to help but maybe let him make the first move. I know sometimes as moms, we are so used to helping our kids but in cases like this, the best help you can give is letting them figure out what they want to do without having us hovering over them. If he is old enough to have been admitted into rehab, he is old enough to man up and call you. He is in a safe caring environment and it seems although he is in rehab, you are still obsessed with him and what he's feeling and what you should be doing for him. Now is the time for you to figure out what your boundaries are and let your son figure out his road to recovery. [/QUOTE]
