[QUOTE="JMom, post: 763766, member: 19892"] Thank you all! Your support is needed and welcomed! Just to clarify, he isn't using it because of his appearance, that was just part of the conversation. I am sure he's using it for all of the same old reasons. I was numb when I posted, so I didn't get into it. His girlfriend confided in me and told me a lot of things that he has been up to. None of them surprised me, but I was disappointed. He had set this boundary with girlfriends that they are not allowed to talk to me about him if it has to do with his poor choices. That probably sounds strange, but it was at my request years ago. People are quick to call and fill me in on his every misdeed. I know who he is and what he does and I do not want every gory detail. It is upsetting and I am already disappointed. I don't need to add insult to injury. My son knows my expectations, boundaries, and hopes for his life-long sobriety. When I[I] really [/I]talk to him about it (which isn't often) I just get it out and hope for the best. It is hard for me to be harsh with him, but when I know he's off the wagon, I can get my point across without harping on it. His girlfriend stated that after I summoned him, he dropped everyone (old friends/bad influences), stayed with her in her apartment, and just worked. They have separate apartments. That was about two weeks ago. I haven't reached back out but she sent me a text letting me know that they were going to see my mom last weekend, which is a good sign. Anytime he stays near family, he stays sober. He was at his father's parents' house over the Easter weekend. Thank you all for being so sweet. This mama is going through it. Hugs, JMOM [/QUOTE]
