[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 727093, member: 22547"] I went back to see him today with my mom with the intention of discussing rehabilitation but when we got there his 16 year old son was there and although he knows his dad has had a problem with drugs we just weren’t sure where the conversation would go and didn’t want him to be there if it turned ugly. I volunteered to pick him when he gets discharged so that I could talk with him privately about it. My mother is not well and I am afraid before long she will end up in the hospital. She has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and is not receiving regular medical care, she also takes care of his two younger children. Something has got to change, I did speak to the women from the psychiatry that came to do an evaluation yesterday and told her his history and my concerns. He is an adult so they are limited with what they can discuss with me but I’m hopeful that they will provide him with some resources. If they only knew the person that he once was, the person I know he could be again. Thank you all for the kind words. On a lighter note my son has started his new job and his first semester of college. I’m taking it day by day and if he decides after seeing what drugs have done to his father and his uncle to still take that road then that will be his choice. Right now he is at least trying and I have to give him credit for that. He got into college and paid for this semester all on his own and I am very proud of him for that. The last coup,e of weeks I have encountered a lot of challenges and feel like I am being tested. There is something for me to learn in all of this and my higher power has my full attention now.
