[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 693188, member: 15032"] Leafy - Thanks for posting and no it was not harsh at all. I was doing fairly well until he overdosed. I did not expect that. Where did it come from? Out of all the girls he met he had to meet one with an ill mom and a pharmacy in her bedroom? It's like some kind of cruel joke. I continually need to remind myself that it's HIS life. I think that everyone keeps saying "he's so young" is not helping me at all. What does that even mean? That he may not "get it" for a few more years?? I pray that is not what it means. I don't know how I'd feel if I were you and my children were continuing to do drugs and not wanting help and being able to function enough not to get help. I cannot even fathom what that must feel like and I give you so much credit for your strength and courage. You are one amazing warrior mom! I really hope that this happened for a reason. I will continue to encourage him to give 100% to the program THIS TIME. I told him we will not financially support him if he leaves the program. I have to do this to save his life. He cannot do this on his own. He needs support and I'm hoping that he will change and see that. I now have a solid reason to not give in. This will help me to be strong. I now KNOW he has to fully invest in being sober. There is no half way here. I hope he doesn't give me a hard time but if he does I will have to cut him off and redirect him. The only way he can not be in the program as I see it is if he gets a full time job and can pay his own way. If that is the case there is nothing I can do to stop him and he's really on his own. I just don't see that happening anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
