[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 693152, member: 15032"] Thanks to all that responded. I started crying when I walked in and told her why I was there. I didn't know where to begin....so I did the best I could to unload how we got to where we are today. As I mentioned, his overdose put me over the top. The replaying of it over and over in my head. Knowing this is not child's play. This isn't just an annoyance. This just got real. This is no longer a game. I have no control over any of it and how hard that is. We discussed things a bit and agreed I will see her every Monday for now and see how things go with him and how it effects me. To work on being loving and supporting with him but with boundaries. He moves into his PHP today at 10am. I texted his house manager and asked if he will have his phone today. He will not have his phone for a while but after three days he can use the house phone; he will have him call me today when he gets settled. Our conversation yesterday didn't go so well. I have so much anger and I lashed out at him and then didn't feel so good about it. He has to know how much I love him though. Darkwing: he said what I wanted to hear the first day he was in detox. That things happen for a reason and that now he sees how serious his problem is. I do hope that he means it and follows through. Words are easy but he needs to DO the work. That is what I am waiting to see. Thank you for saying what you said. I know he doesn't WANT to be this way. That makes me feel so sad. I know I take a lot on myself. It's the overdose. It did me in. It stripped me of everything I had worked to attain in dealing with this. [/QUOTE]
