[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 632655, member: 17542"] JKF I am hoping this is a key turnaround for him. The fact that he said he is tired of his current situation and wants a change is good. Maybe just maybe this is his rock bottom and he can see and hear in a new way what the professionals are going to tell him about how to comply with treatment. As you so well know he has to want it bad enough to change. Just like we had to, in order to stop our past behaviors with our difficult children. And it will be hard. I am constantly reminding myself that I do not and cannot know what my sons recovery will look like and just because what he does makes little sense to me and is not how I would do it, does not mean it is wrong. Leaning into that belief helps to keep me moving forward even though. I am so glad the people at the hospital talked to you and supported your recovery. I am continually grateful for the mental health professionals I come in contact with that immediately support what I am trying so hard to do. If they did not this would be just that much harder. JKF today my difficult child has been homeless again since June 26 and although he is saying a lot of good things and our interactions are more positive than in a very long time there has been little to no action that I can see. I continue to work to accept reality as it is today and to have a good and happy life. Most days it is possible. Warm hugs to you. I am praying for you and your son that this is a turning point for him. Please keep us posted. We all care about you and want the best for you. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
