[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 385870"] Thanks for the words of wisdom. I am going to see if my husband will go to an al-anon meeting on Tuesday night. It is a meeting for parents of addicts. There is no way we can go to 7 meetings in 7 days..... but I do agree we need to go. The rehab program does involve parents and in fact that is one fo their requirements that family be involved. A lot of our involvement will have to be over the phone because our son is in FL and we are in the Northeast. They do have family days every Sunday so my husband and I are going to try and go down at least once or maybe twice in the 90 days. Some of it depends on if he wants us to come. I really feel, that although this is a family issue, it is also his issue. I think in the past I have almost been too involved and I think he needs to lead the way in what he needs from us rather than him feeling like I am telling him what he needs. Does that make sense. I am unclear how much he wants us to be involved.... there is such a push pull from him. He is in touch when he needs something and did call us last night and in fact sounded really good. Better than he has sounded in a long time. I also agree and I think he knows we will support him to the wall in his sobriety. I think he knows that without a doubt we love him and support him. We have shown him that in so many ways. That of course will continue. [/QUOTE]
