[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 516382"] Sig - hugs to you. It is so very hard and you have been clear and strong. A couple of thoughts... I don't think this situation you are in with your difficult child is forever... you still love him and always will and at some deep level he knows that and will want that.... and believe me I bet he will learn at some point that his "new" family really does not replace his old one. Because his gfgness, and his substance abuse is bound to get in his way again. He is on good behavior right now and they love him for it.... but if he is really using then that will cause him to behave in very difficult child ways... and if he screws them over in some way (like he has you) they will not be there for him like you have been. No one but his mother would accept him even with his bad behavior. I think it takes difficult children a while to learn this but they do. I think my son is slowly (oh so slowly) learning that his parents are the ones who continually are there for him and love him no matter what. And he is also learning we are not always there for him the way he wants... but in the end we do love him and want him to succeed. on the other hand he has not called me either... I have not heard from him for a month.... but even so in the whole scheme of life this is not forever. TL [/QUOTE]
