Hmm...hot off the press he just texted me and his dad ..'hey mom/dad. just thought Id let u know i am currently at an na meeting at a recovery club house called xxxx in xxxxx "(a known heroin dealing neighborhood).
My impulse is of course to text back immediately something along the lines of "thats great!" what do you all think?
My pause (see, I've learned from the board and the value of "do nothing") tells me that he has to do this for his OWN reasons, not for the "PING" of positive feedback of his parents saying "thats great!". If I had a dime for every "thats great" that ended up going nowhere I'd be rich.
I want him to walk the walk because he has decided he has to. Doing it because he wants me to smile at him won't endure.
And while I was typing I think he tried to call me (unknown number, usually him)
But moms and dads out there...what do you think? I feel precariously perched...
Of course, I know that my actions or choice at this instant will have little to no impact or import over the long run....I just remembered that.
Seeking guidance and wisdom from y'all....
