[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 687700, member: 15032"] So sorry for your pain Colleen. You do not deserve this; none of us do. I can tell that you are a very loving mother. My Difficult Child surprised me a bit. He had asked his dad to buy me flowers because they were too expensive to send. My husband won't make him pay but I was touched that he was thinking of me. He knows how much I love flowers. He called me to wish me Happy Mother's Day and he said he mailed me a card and that I would get it today. I felt that maybe he realizes a little bit how much I've done for him since now he is not living at home. He was always thoughtful though so I don't think it's too far a stretch from when he was at home. Then he texted me last night from work and said - I wish I could have a beer after work but if I do I'll be homeless. - EEK!!! He is in sober living. Whey is he even thinking this and why did he text me this? My husband told me not to freak out but I did freak out. On a good note at least he is thinking of consequences I guess. He works at a restaurant and I'm sure he sees lots of people having a beer and it seems normal. My reply was that he needed to stay away from everything. That he had goals to achieve and none of it is good for him. How do you tell a 20 year old he can never have a beer? His problem was benzo's but it's a slippery slope. [/QUOTE]
