[QUOTE="missy44, post: 284306, member: 6201"] Well, as some of you may know my son is living at home again and doing very well for the last month or so. He has only been living at home since last week though, he had to jump through many hoops to be able to come back home. Today is the first day that we have gone to work and the other kids have gone to school, leaving us to trust that our son continues to do the right thing. Today he was told to wake up up 8:30am (which he did-he called me), shower (which he did), head downtown on his skateboard (he had a dr's appointment at 1:00pm), apply for two jobs (downtown). I'm assuming he went to the doctor but everything else is worrying me. I'm trying so hard to detach but it's not working. All I keep thinking is "what if he messed up today", "what if he is using today". I know there is nothing I can do about any of it. I guess it was somewhat easier when he wasn't living with us, you don't tend to get your hopes up as much. At this time, I'm at work, thinking the worst, sick to my stomach, imagining how I'm going to tell his little brother that he messed up again and can't stay at home. That other part of me says "no, he's doing the right thing today". Any words of wisdom? Thanks all [/QUOTE]
