[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 734970, member: 15032"] Visit coming to a close. Son goes back to his program today at noon. He is very sad and having a hard time with it. He had a great time with his dad and the weather was perfect. He just called me a few minutes ago to get some reassurance. He wants to know we are proud of him. Yes we are proud of him. I guess I have to say it every time I talk to him. It is exhausting, it truly is. He is going on his mission trip Sunday so that will be a wonderful experience. He said he thinks he will feel better once he gets back today in familiar surroundings. His dad is not good with emotional stuff. He told son not to "be a baby" ugh. My husband has been there so much for our son and is so fortunate to have so much vacation time. He has really gone above and beyond for son but doesn't know how to really express his feelings. His own dad was the same way. Our son needs that though so it is tough for me. I can't make everything perfect, he just has to accept us with our flaws too. He sounds so strong and says THAT (and we all know what "that" is) is behind him. It is over. He doesn't want that anymore. Song to my ears but I am a realist and I know ever day will be a struggle for him. I cannot take that away unfortunately. I told him it will be good on the mission trip that so many in addiction will be looking up to HIM. He said he knows that because he first looked up to the guys in the program that had been there 8-9 months and now it is HIM! Just wanted to say thank you all so much for all of your support. This is still so hard. [/QUOTE]
