I have elected to tell my son to get treatment and be sober before we talk again.

[QUOTE="kennedyland, post: 590744, member: 16133"] Well, I wrote a short text to him just as several of you, and my wife, advised. Excellent advice. I said I love him, that the moment he gets treatment and is clean I'll be there, and that this was all my idea and he shouldn't blame my wife (his stepmom). I said I have faith he can do this. He responded with a pretty awful text. Highlights (or perhaps Lowlights) include his charge that I depend on his mom (my ex) to supply money to him (he's almost 29....Isn't that his job?) That my moving away is abandoning him because he has so many problems, and on and on. Frankly, I started to skim the text message. What would I gain from being ****ed like that? I won't respond for a couple of days, and when I do I'll just continue to say, "I love you" and encourage him to be strong and to beat this thing. I keep the belief that it is the disease of drug addiction that is speaking to me and not him. Also, let's face it, it's been a pretty awful day. It's snowing! April 18 and there is a snowstorm going on outside! AND I got a parking ticket because I didn't see that little sign saying,"No parking on this block on Thursday, April 18." The good news? Someone I haven't seen in a while said, "Wow, you look great! Have you lost weight?" (I have.) So what the hell, my son thinks I'm a total dork, it's a snow storm, I got a ticket, but I look pretty darn good! By the way, you guys are great. Thanks for being here, it means a lot. [/QUOTE]
