[QUOTE="mof, post: 696954, member: 20533"] RN, and Colleen, Trust me, I have vivid memories of the bad, and disappointments. You also have to remember...he did not live with us during his deep spiral. We have never had him with us medicated for his issues. There is an underlying tension I pray we can dissipate. He is generally pleasant, calm and can be quite a hard worker. We have outlined a contract....I don't want to be his keeper...but he will not drive here. I shouldn't have called him yesterday...he is sick and was in a I don't know mood...it's important he gets a therapist...we are not who he is going to talk to regarding his feelings. I have faced some of the worst, forcing ourselves to not sugarcoat the past. I didn't find him with a needle in his arm...but visually it is there. We had to pack up his dorm room while his suite mates looked on...all I can say is that I had to grow some serious tough skin that day. Sad..no one really cared for him, because he has had no true connections. We are realists...but as a Momma I sometimes dare to hope...it's not my place...he has to find whats good for him. We hope he hears us as we give him tools...I did find AA mtg for young people, the rehab here is helpful. It is true...many mtgs here don't like drug users. RN...I hope the iop is good. My son's...he says it's nothing like a good mtg or ecp program he attended. I guess it's what you make of it...he doesnt find it much help...says there is a lot of marital problems talked about. Colleen...I still pray for your son everyday...both of your and RNs...it can't hurt. I am not going to communicate with T unless he reaches out...I need to do this for myself. He is quite excited to be home...it's been a year since he has lived here. RN...Xmas scares me too...I'm such a holiday person...I pray for a good one. Maybe your family could go to Fla to see him? A little Sun might be nice...and yet he won't be in your home...but it's too far to think about. I had my pastor and friend say they think he will do quite well here...they said they know hubby and I would never enable, and would call us out if they see us sliding. Difficult Child says people constantly say how lucky he is to have family...he says most young guys do...he thinks only the old long term users are on streets....Sadly he's wrong. He hasn't seen the worst, I pray he never wants too. Thank you ladies...It's nice to vent, cry...well not so much..laugh, need more laughs!, with all of you. Next two days I'm attending a leadership conference, although I left my job due to stress...they keep me busy and included...It could be worse! Hugs, Mof [/QUOTE]
