[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 709097, member: 15032"] Hoping for the Best: I love what you said about your son; that he is struggling with his addiction but a good person. I find it so VERY hard to separate it all out. I feel I sometimes villianize him. I had a dream last night that we were together and he told me "I had a nightmare during the day". I just hugged him real tight and told him everything was going to be alright. Heartbreaking dream. I so often question if we are doing the right thing. This weekend he told me that he needs me to come there and "take care of him" and he "misses his mother". I told him he is a grown man and that I miss him too. He says he is there "all alone". We told him he is not alone. He has a girlfriend and his father and I text, talk on the phone and FaceTime and do go visit. I told him that he is away from us due to his behavior that we could not have in our home. That he just couldn't do it with us around. I told him we are giving him this opportunity to get a degree, certificate or something so he can support himself. College kids are away from home. Not the real total reason he is away we all know. I know he's pulling at my heart strings. But knowing that doesn't help. I too feel like something huge has been lost with us having to deal with all this. [/QUOTE]
