[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 707849, member: 20054"] Hi Goslow. I'm sorry for your pain, for all our pain. I do believe this is the hardest time-when they are begging to come back and we know that road is closed for good reason. The pain is so raw. You have done the right thing. You have. For both of you. He wants to make adult decisions without adult consequences, that's not how life works. Don't spare him this lesson. I feel like when reading your story that the justice system has spared him many times already. I'm sure that you miss him. Do I miss my son? Yes, the healthy one, the clear-eyed one. It was a turning point for me when, after years of being all consumed with my son, I realized that all that was left was profound sadness for him, I had nothing else. I had sacrificed my relationships, my life. Then I saw my life had followed his "down the tubes" and the profound sadness NOW, was at how I was living MY life.... Stay the course, we are in your boat, we will help you row. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
