[QUOTE="Nature, post: 740391, member: 19011"] Hi Elsi, I really like that advice that was given to you. That nurse was very insightful. Sigh those phone calls they rip your heart apart don't they? On one hand our minds can't stop thinking about them and we often fret when they don't respond to calls then when they do and it's full of anger and accusations we berate ourselves for speaking to them. It's such a horrible dance we parents of drug addicts are forced to endure. It's enough to drive a sane person mad and worse is that we can't discuss this with just anyone for fear of judgement and lack of understanding from those who have never been through the dance. This forum is a godsend as has helped me numerous times over the years. I was so broken when I first arrived and was greeted with understanding when I told my story. The people on here are so wise , non judgmental and give great advice. Elsi, no you are not cold nor withholding, rather you are a beloved mother who is protecting herself and your son as the ultimate decision is his to make. By giving in to all his demands you will give up a piece of your soul and dislike the person you've become. There is no doubt in my mind you are a loving mother which is why you are standing your ground as it is in his best interest although he doesn't see it that way at this point in time. I support your choices. Hugs [/QUOTE]
