[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 711484, member: 19887"] He is awake today... started taking his stuff from garage to basement and now it's just piled down there, but husband wanted his garage back, so it's progress. He isn't too grumpy, not mean anyway. Trying to see this is actually progress. It's hard. It's like you expect them to be who they were before drug addiction and that it should just happen once they start to recover. I guess I have to remind myself I wouldn't expect that as a mental health professional so why do I expect it from my son? I definitely need to keep reminding myself that I need to back off and let him work it out. I so want to jump in and fix it. Sigh... thanks so much for your support. I really do appreciate these boards and everyone's input, even when I don't agree with it... I appreciate the time and effort put into trying to help me. I really do. I think it's hard for anyone to really get the whole picture from one persons limited perspective, but it is so helpful to have these boards and the people behind the words of encouragement. [/QUOTE]
