[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 695165, member: 15032"] Albatross Very sad to hear he used the money to get high. But he isn't ready to change yet. Even though he has suffered so much. Hard to understand that isn't it? Hard for me with my son also. Only they can drive the change. I just hope my son stays alive long enough to get there. I'm sure that is a fear we all have. My son is sober now because he has no other choice really if he wants a bed and a roof. My husband will visit him for his birthday in late August IF all goes smoothly from now until then. He is in IOP and then sober living. It's like we're forcing it right now. I don't like it but I'll take it. I am getting so much better at detaching. That is what you need to do also. There is no other choice really. I've made myself so sick for so long over all of this. It doesn't even seem like my life at times. We went to a party this weekend with old neighbors and everyone asked about J and if he still has red hair. Yes, yes he does. He is in Florida now. That's all I say. Of course my close friends know the truth. So many don't know the internal pain of it all. You can't tell by looking at me. I so seem to have it all together on the outside. [/QUOTE]
