[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 694563, member: 15032"] Thank you for your responses. I have not brought the bad things my son has done over the years up to him too much. Mainly because I don't want to relive it and it's all painful to me. Also because my husband gets SO angry and I don't see anger being helpful. I know he has a right to be angry though but I want him to be there for our son. I do need to rethink these things. I know that is probably not good. It makes him feel like we've accepted it or maybe he's gotten away with something and neither are my feelings. I talked to a few good friends about this last night. They both say that we have done everything, [I]everything [/I]for our son and that there is no way he does not [I]know [/I]how much he is loved. I have to agree. My son's new therapist called me yesterday and she says he has a sense of entitlement, does not feel he should be there etc. He actually told her that he does not want to be a peasant like her (WTF does that even mean??). The same things he was doing before the overdose. I don't understand why he is being this way. She said a big problem is that he is very young and immature. He's almost 21 but acts much younger at times. Agree. Maturity takes time. Time that he does not have. She said it's like she almost gets "in" but then he backs off. I have not talked to him for a few days but I do plan on talking to him soon about things he told me when he was in detox - about how this happened for a reason and now he sees he really does have a problem. Where did that person go? Now he is just angry. After that I am telling him he can talk to his dad for a while so I can have a mental break from it. We're so tired of waiting for the light bulb to go on. [/QUOTE]
