[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 684233, member: 15032"] We were in same boat with our son until he moved to sober living in Florida. He had only one friend and that kid seemed okay but it's like his dad and I were his only connection to the outside world and we both hated it. Felt so bad for him. He should be out enjoying life but he was sitting home with us. He was sober. Going to dinner with us, going to Costco and SAMS OMG. He'd ask if we were going to Sams. Going to the movie with us. I know exactly how you feel. Then you wonder will they EVER have a social life? Is this really "it"? Then he went on a binge. He said he wasn't happy. Wasn't happy because he wasn't doing things other 20 year olds are doing. Well we weren't stopping him from NOT doing those things. The other night while at sober living my son texted and said he wanted to get his own place because he's "getting sick of people". What?? You can't get sick of people. People are everywhere! Obviously that is not possible ($$$) but I had this "fantasy" as I call it that he is there being someone he just is NOT. He is bored when he doesn't work which is 5 days per week (can't he work 7 days!). Doesn't like the gym, doesn't like the beach. BLAH [/QUOTE]
