[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 648524, member: 18516"] Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear that he's getting "settled" and that you had a nice visit with him. More important I'm glad you are building a support group for yourself. I hope your son starts to really accept the help being offered to him. I remember times with my son when he would get out of jail and there was that "fresh start" and all the hope I had for him. He would do really good for about a month then would revert back into his out of control behavior. I remember the feelings of being so completely disappointed as I at the time truly thought "this is it, he's going to make it". As time went on and we went through this "process" again and again I learned to be much more guarded and cautious with my emotions. We learn quickly how true the saying is "Actions speak louder than words" Our difficult adult children are so good at giving lip service, it's following that up with actions that make all the difference. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
