[QUOTE="startingfresh, post: 731160, member: 22380"] lbl, I am glad you had a positive visit. I know hearing how deep he was into the drugs has to be terrifying. I remember so clearly the letter my son had to write to us while in wilderness therapy, detailing the things he had done. Before the letter, we were naive and thought he had only tried weed once. In the letter he said he stole pills from a friends mom and I dont think I will ever forget that awful sinking feeling I had. That he tried acid. A lot of the things he revealed were things that he tried once and supposedly never again. Ironically now that its pretty far in the past, he says only some of that was true. That he didn't steal pills. WHAT? The further we get from his crazy adolescence the more we learn about how much his ODD diagnosis was right on. If you want me to do it, I will do the opposite. Or if you force me to be honest, I'll be honest (not really) and hurt you that way. Now that he is living on his own, working a full time job and paying rent we see DRASTIC improvement. We have short visits about once a week where he gets to show up when he wants and leave when he is ready. He never stays more than a few hours. Ah, these short visits are so healing. I look at it like every time we have a good visit where everyone feels ok afterwards is building a relationship back. I pray that your son continues in his positive direction with planning for his own future and doing well with his studies. He is blessed to have such dedicated parents. [/QUOTE]
