[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 690490, member: 19069"] RN , I feel your worry, my son hasn't been sober as long as your son but I'm not sure if the worry of relapse will ever go away. I think you did the right thing by having your son continue with sober living. Maybe tell him to first work hard and save some money if he wants a normal life out of sober living. That's awesome that you have your husbands support and he looks out for your well being. My son doesn't understand how his actions effect me either. He always says what's it to you, it's on me if I screw up. Oh if they only knew. I actually believe that we suffer as much or more than the addict. I agree with Kathy that it's not our jobs to make our children happy. Its hard to swallow though, it's our instinct as mothers. It would sure make our lives much better though if our children were settled and happy. I think you should enjoy a cocktail and do something you enjoy. Hopefully your son will like it at the new sober living soon, change is hard on anyone, maybe he just needs time to adjust. [/QUOTE]
