[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 696266, member: 17542"] Hi Copa, I'm just catching up here and I see this as a hard thing (mainly for you) and a potentially good thing (for him and for you). I love all that he wrote here. I think we (like our DCs) have a tendency to see things as bad or good, all or nothing, black or white. We have the same thinking they do. He has made progress. Don't ever forget that. We here have identified that progress in your continuing updates. You have made progress. You are in no way a failure as a mother or person or daughter. You have done all you could do for everybody. You have done the best you could do at every turn. That is all anybody can ever do. Let yourself off the hook, Copa. Live your life, fully, the good and the bad. You deserve all good things. I pray your son is at a positive turning point for him. He may be ready to have a continuing path of progress, with a few missteps, or not. Nobody knows the answer to that. Even he doesn't. I am praying and hoping and sending good thoughts that he can put a string of good choices together...and like Darkwing said...start that pathway of good change for himself. He will have missteps, but that doesn't mean all is lost. It just means he had a misstep...just like I do...all the time. Hang in there. You have done the right thing here setting a boundary. And look...he sought help. See that. See what he did after what you did. That is progress. [/QUOTE]
