[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 695054, member: 15032"] Son texted me on Friday afternoon that he "is out". He meant out of PHP and now in IOP. This is right back where he started when he first went to Florida (from rehab in Chicago) back in March. I asked him "now what"? He said "you tell me". There it was. I said "nope. I'm not involved. It's your life. Call your dad". He asked why and I texted "I'm overwhelmed by your actions. Can't handle it anymore. When you're ready to change for real and for good, then we can talk". I can't give him my emotional support right now. Not when he is still in denial about his problem. His dad talked to him Saturday and gave him a list of conditions. We'll see if he starts working on them. Nothing that he should not be able to do. I can't wait to talk to my therapist Thursday. She did not suggest this but I just have to do it right now. I feel like I've come a long way with my detaching but his dad is in touch so I am kind of cheating. But his dad can't be manipulated. He told his dad that his girlfriends mom was blowing up her phone this weekend when he was with her. They had not seen each other in a month. Girlfriend had to block her mom. She was saying that "there is no hope" for my son and other things. That hit me hard. I know she is probably so angry with him for what he did, but to say that when she has her own son who was an addict, is hard to understand. I feel that way myself right now but for her to say that. Ouch. I was going to text his girlfriend later but decided it would be best for my nerves not to get involved in all that drama. Wonder how that makes my son feel though? We went to another graduation party this weekend for our good friend's son. He plays baseball and got a scholarship to college. He wants to be a firefighter too. He is sweet and adorable and loves his family. He is a joy to be around. Sad on the drive home. For our son and all the things he isn't. He has SO much potential. [/QUOTE]
