[QUOTE="Hopingforthe best, post: 694451, member: 12294"] Update!!! Not what i was hoping for. My son's detox was ending today. He called for the first time yesterday since he got there to let me know and ask whether i could give him a ride to come home. I asked him whether he had talked to the facility which also operates a 30 day rehab, to get in the program and his response was that yes he did and was waiting for a response today, but he also said that he didn't think going to rehab would help him because he knows what to do and that it was his choice to get clean and he believes he could do it at home with meetings. I tried reasoning with him that it didn't work before so what makes this time any different? He thinks me controlling what he ought to do is not helping either. Well, i told him my feelings were that he had a problem and my hope was he would get into treatment. So we went back forth and eventually i told him that i am not comfortable having him at home because nothing will change since we have been there before. He got irritated and said if that was the case then he was going to talk to his pal A and see if he could stay with them. A is the friend whom he stayed with last year when i kicked him out. His roommate sells marijuana. Towards the end of the conversation, i told him to do what he feels is right for him and leave me out of it because i was tired of the stress he has brought into my life all these years. We agreed he was going to call this morning to let me know what he was going to do and i hang up the phone thinking he was done but apparently not because i heard him say i love you mum but i didn't get a chance to say i loved him too. That made me sad because despite everything i still love my son. It is 2.38pm our time and he hasn't called. I tried to call his phone earlier to check whether it was open and the girlfriend picked up. Fortunately i used *67 so she doesn't know whether it was me, although i wish i didn't because now i know that they either got back together before he left for detox or he got out this morning and she picked him up. Either way, nothing good can come out of their reunion, but nothing i can do. [/QUOTE]
