[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 713699, member: 15032"] Colleen: Thanks for being optimistic but I am feeling pessimistic. I sound strong but I am struggling with all of this terribly. Especially yesterday for Father's Day. Family is so important to me yet my son is 1500 miles away and I'm thankful. I feel like I'm living a sort of nightmare that never goes away. Kathy: They put him back into higher care for a week. He goes back to sober living tomorrow. My husband SO wanted to believe him. He said it was due to working out blah blah but I didn't buy it and what really sold me is when his therapist said that his THC levels have been going down weekly and then a spike suddenly. He has been working out for some time so it's not like he just started working out. He had told his dad it must be due to working out; he probably googled that..... Now my question to you all is that I told my son to lose my number until he is ready to change his life for good. I am beyond pissed at his weed use at this point even though in my heart I feel he isn't ready to do this but if not now then when?? I told him that he is wasting everyone's efforts here. He has been talking to his dad. He told his dad yesterday (when he called to wish him Happy Father's Day and asked what we were doing) to tell mom that I love her and mentioned that he knows my birthday is coming up. (Incidentally he is the most thoughtful of our three boys). I just can't engage with him right now knowing he's being deceitful. I won't accept it. I cannot accept it. He is a young man and this behavior is not something I can be okay with. I know he knows I love him but is this okay or do I need to be more supportive or is this not being supportive? I'm so confused. [/QUOTE]
