[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 751496, member: 15032"] Mom I also felt your pain in your post. My son was against me during his drug use too. You know why? Because I called him to the carpet. I did it all the time and I didn't care how mad it got him. I myself was angry. Not angry at him that he was an addict, but angry that I wanted him better more than he wanted it. I think they do this because in truth they love us so deeply that they cannot stand to see the disappointment in our eyes or hear it in our voice. Now that he is home (for ten months now) and we have rebuilt our relationship somewhat - NOT easy mind you - I can feel his love for me and his dad. I have to say that I never thought I'd say this but feeling that love again may have been worth the hell we went through. I say "may", but at least it's some reward. It seems your son is able to function (work) while using. My son was not. Not at all. This made things move along faster - I am actually grateful for that. It keeps you from second guessing everything. I think I prayed for my son 24/7 for years. Any time I thought of him. If I woke up in the middle of the night, etc. I was always praying. I still do. I really believe that divine intervention saved our son's life. I would do something for your son his birthday, even if it's just a text and a card or even an invite to a dinner if that is what you feel like doing. I wouldn't want to regret anything. Just do it for YOU. [/QUOTE]
