[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 532958, member: 59"] Your story is like a rewind button on when our difficult child was in treatment. She would make up these stories and tell them in group I guess for pity or attention or because everyone had such down and out stories and she was just a spoiled suburban girl with brand name clothes and her own room and she didn't want them to think she wasn't hard like them...I don't know I'm still trying to figure that out. She did tell me once when we were going to AA meetings together that so many of their stories were so sad and hers was nowhere near as bad as theirs. I agree with exhausted that you are his trigger and when he sees you he has to face his demons and that makes him angry so he takes it out on you. I too would worry about contact with his former friends who are users and his explanations sound like stories to me, very much the same as difficult child did with us when she was trying to explain why she kept in contact with users. So many times she said she was tying to help them...ummmm no she wasn't. Brace yourself AG. While we all hope that moving from php to iop is a good thing, it also brings with it a lot more freedomand chance for relapse. I'm not saying anything you don't know, I just want you to prepare your heart. He has the tools now, he is ready to move, whether he takes advantage of what he learned and put it into practice is now up to him. I wish we lived near each other I would take you to my parents meeting. It's the only thing that got me to stop crying. Hugs, Nancy [/QUOTE]
