[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 182982"] Much more needs to happen, but these sound like positive steps. I am so glad that you are going therapy and that your son is not living with you. Are you going to therapy regularly? With reference to your son's GED, etc. it's probably best that 1) He get his addiction under control first through treatment, etc. and 2) As a mother, you might make a suggestion for him to get his GED or get him some phone numbers of places to take it...but it should end there. He needs to take the steps necessary to go forward on his own. It's hard to deal with, but its best that he learns to do things on his own. You mentioned that your son heard the therapist say that he needed in patient treatment. Does this mean that he will actually go? I hope that will become a reality and that you and your family will continue making steps forward towards good mental health. p.s. I agree with Jane, the only person you can control (and this includes your thoughts) is YOU! Especially since your son is an adult, this is where your primary focus should be. [/QUOTE]
