[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 745736, member: 22819"] I don't really have control either. The only thing I can do is force him to come back here, where the likely outcome is that one of us will die. What the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is like, I don't really know. Nothing I would choose is a possibility right now. But I have managed to detach to a substantial degree. It makes me sad. I can imagine never seeing my son again, getting a phone call one day with the worst news, or not getting any news at all, and being okay with it. At least this is what I feel now. I would like to complete my 18-year responsibility to society, as a parent, but then I'm done unless he really, really wants his family back. I don't know how I got here, but it's where I'm at. Of course, I can't no for sure until the day comes when I really don't know where he is. And this is where you are. We love our sons. We aren't perfect. But we were good mothers to them, and this is what we must carry in our hearts. [/QUOTE]
