[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 563649"] So the good news is that my friend in CA who has the phone finally got a FB message from difficult child. The message thanked him for his support, said he was hitchiking around and he was uncomfortable with the recovery thing because he had had some bad experiences AND he didnt think he was an addict. He could drink and smoke pot and had not had any real consequences from doing so!!!! Are you kidding me??? I mean what about being homeless with no help from home? What about being kicked out over and over again from programs and sober houses because you just had to find a way to get high???? I mean it is ridiculous really!! My friend said that kids his age usually do not see themselves as addicts... and it may be he is not using anything hugely physically addictive (which is good) so he does nto see himself as an addict. That is ok but I am in a screwy way amused. So difficult child is clearly not at a place where he is looking for help in recovery... and is on his way to a state that has legalized pot... his dream I am sure. This Thanksgiving I am thankful that he is alive and at least in touch sporadically and seems ok. TL [/QUOTE]
