[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 740043, member: 18516"] Husband and I just had an actual conversation with our son. I did not spontaneously combust!!;) I have not actually talked with my son for 2 years. We called him and put it on speaker so we both could talk to him. He did most of the talking. He sounded good. He is working and only gets $5 a day, the other money he earns goes to pay his rent at the halfway house. He has 5 more months to go. He is attending AA meetings and got the Big Book. He said he was glad he got arrested and he finally realizes he has a problem with alcohol. He said he was sick and tired of living the life he had been living. He said he now knows all the bad things that have happened to him have happened because of drinking. He said all the things that I had hoped to hear. We ended the conversation telling him that he sounded good and that we love him. Yes, he said all the things I want to hear. I've been here before. I feel happy but I am also very guarded. Tick Tock, Tick Tock, only time will tell. This is a place where I have to really be careful and make sure to stay on my guard and keep my boundaries firmly in place. I do hope that he has finally realized he needs to make some serious changes but I will not hold my breath :confused: I know how easily things could change. Copa, I see nothing pathetic about this. You love your son and want him to be safe and there is nothing pathetic about that. Don't be too hard on yourself. This is such a wonderful feeling. :group-hug: [/QUOTE]
