[QUOTE="mof, post: 697108, member: 20533"] RN, and all you kind hearted women. I don't know if our son "has it". Who knows...I am choosing not to contact him at this time an letting him live. We talk to a therapist Monday to help us with some guidelines. The only thing I do know, is that I am in this recovery with him. I know I need to work on my reactions, and he needs to work on his. Goals need to be refined..and we as a family will try to walk together. Every life matters. Maybe God will use me in a bigger way..but for now..it's our family. I feel deeply for all of us. I don't have to know you to feel your frustrations, pain and tears. Something is telling us that he needs to be home. That is individual for everyone. I don't fear him, just stupid choices, that he has proved he can overcome. I don't believe any addict can ever casually drink or smoke pot...and many use nicotine also as a substitute. T says alcohol does not tempt him, but the liquor is leaving the house. We are not heavy drinkers...so why keep it. I want to make sure our other sons are not pushed to the side either....we all play a balancing game. Friends of ours just told us their son is not returning to university because he was asked other to come back due to academic probation an other choices...we can think 19 and 20 is all grown up...but it's not for all. They can be stupid without drugs or mental illness! Our world is dealing with so much...refugees, violence, and mental illness and the opiate epidemic. I will try to support wellness on all fronts...it's not easy, but I will climb whatever hill is put before us. All of you have been amazingly strong, resilient people. I believe that there is hope for our sons and daughters... I know that in the good, bad and crazy, I will keep posting to stay a bit sane. I'm going to dig deep.... Blessings Mof [/QUOTE]
