[QUOTE="Lost in sadness, post: 726946, member: 21056"] I am not great at ‘advice’ at the moment, being in the thick of stuff myself. However, some wiser mums on here told me only a for months ago when I was considering my son coming home again at Christmas that this was not a wise move. It’s thought that part of growing and being an adult is that they can fend for themselves independently and a healthy young person would not want to come home. It’s hard to think of saying no, to imagine them never coming back, to think about how this must feel for them when they have worked so hard but I also wonder if it’s some kind of trigger to relapsing back. I’m thrilled for your son that he is doing well at the moment but I am also sorry to say those ‘wiser’ mums were right and we are back to square one. I felt the same anxiety - next time I will listen to that doubt! Hugs xx [/QUOTE]
