[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 590389, member: 59"] I'm thinking of you today also AG. I know this is hard. If it helps at all when I was in the midst of my darkest days with difficult child all I could do was get through each day, hour by hour. Some days it was minute to minute. I literally had to force myself to do things. But what I found was that each day that went by was one day closer to feeling normal again, not great but just more normal. Keep reminding yourself that your difficult child chose this path and he can just as well choose to change it and if he does you will be there to help him. I don't think that the news is all bad with your son. He is looking for a job, the times you have seen him he wasn't strung out was he? I know he is making some bad choices but I have a lot of hope for him. Sending hugs and hoping you can get some rest tonight. Kathy I don't at all disagree with AG pulling the plug on her difficult child's phone once I understood he was using it for drug activities. But there is a huge difference between a easy child who is working full time in a career getting her own phone service and a 19 year old difficult child who doesn't even have a job. Gosh my 26 year old easy child is still on our plan because she could not afford her own plan for over $100 a month and she is a teacher, doesn't make much at all and I think it's a crime what they charge for cell phone service. Anyway I have been there done that with pulling the plug on difficult child's phone when she was doing drugs but in the end she needed a phone to line up jobs and call for rides. I have also been faced with whether to cancel the service or just suspend it and in the end I just suspended it because I knew I would at some point perhaps need to provide service for her and didn't want to pay the termination charge. AG I didn't mean to question your judgement on this issue, you did what you felt best at the time and I wholeheartedly support that. In the end paying for another phone for your difficult child at some point is the least of your worries. [/QUOTE]
