Hi all,
Well it sounds like my son is doing pretty well in rehab although it is really hard to tell because we don't have a lot of communication with him. I am in touch with the therapist and she says he is doing well. I wasn't sure if I should try to stay in touch or kind of back off for awhile. Her thought was I should back off for now because he really needs to work on himself and work on the skill to be independent of us. I totally agree with this so I have been keeping a pretty low profile. He has texted me a few times when he wants something and those interchanges have been pleasant for the most part. It is a little hard in one way not talking to him and getting more detailed information but it also is a good step in me letting go too. I think eventually we will be brought in more but I do think for him in particular part of his journey has to be finding himself, separate from us. Which is what I like about this program they work with individuals and what they need. So I continue to be hopeful..... and it is really really nice to be able to come home to my own house and feel peace and relaxation. I am so so thankful right now that things worked out the way they did.... The process was horrible but at least for now I feel he is in the right place.
