[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 516411, member: 1967"] wantpeace, that is exactly how our visit went when we visited our difficult child in rehab. She was still angry with us because we told her that she would have to go to a halfway house after rehab. She cried and stormed out of the room at one point. The counselor went and talked with her and she did come back but it wasn't a pleasant visit to say the least. We didn't go back for any more visits during her stay in rehab. I don't think it is necessarily a bad sign that he wasn't happy to see you. It is very early in his recovery and he has a lot of feelings that he needs to learn to process in a healthy, sober way. I know it hurts but be glad he is in treatment and let him make the next move. If he wants you to come back to visit, he needs to agree in advance to be pleasant and make it a constructive visit. Rehab and recovery isn't easy for the addict or the people that love them. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
