[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 688836, member: 1967"] RNO441, please don't misunderstand! I realize that you are walking a thin line between encouragement and enabling. I have fallen off that tightrope many times. My suggestion is to back off as the intermediary between your son and his therapist. Let him deal with it. My daughter would often call me complaining about the therapy or house rules and our family therapist said that we should direct her back to the therapist or therapy team with her concerns/complaints. It is all part of the recovery process. There is nothing wrong with being hopeful. We like to say . . . hope for the best but prepare for the worst. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
