[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 655184, member: 15801"] Oh Rina, I know first hand how much it hurts and how devestating it is. I know I dont know all the things my son has done and has been through.... and I have come to the conclusion I dont really want to know. Trying to keep him in a place where he cant use until he is 18 is a big thing to do and will help him even if he hates you for it. I have come to the conclusion that all the programs we have had my son in at least it gave him some drug free brain development. And yes he hated us for it for awhile but I dont think he does anymore. We are rebuilding our relationship and now that he is a bit older (23) I am stepping back a lot more. He is not completely sober which worries me but he is working and recently emailed me about his drinking....so I think he is starting to be concerned for himself.... at least that is my hope. I think it is really really important to remember that a lot of the stuff he says is manipulation and do not take it personally. He may mean what he says for the moment but that is not necessarily a long term thing. [/QUOTE]
