I told my son not to contact me until he is ready to change for real and for good.  That lasted a few days.  He is in IOP program so he is sober but his thinking and comments still make me crazy and his lack of accepting all the help that is at his fingertips now is completely unacceptable to me. I did get one good report from his therapist BUT I'm keeping it real and not getting optimistic. I've been burned too many times.


I have said horrible things to my son out of anger and frustration and one so bad I will not even post here. I actually apologized for it because I couldn't live with myself for saying it.  Don't beat yourself up. 


I have never had so much love or hate in my heart as when I realized my son was an addict.
