[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 724425, member: 18958"] rn. hi. in some ways we are in a similar place emotionally. i find it exceedingly hard when objectively there is hope but i have no control. as an observer (of your situation) i will say this: there seems to have been remarkable change in your son's commitment to and willingness to engage and accept structure and support. he seems humble now. no arrogance or entitlement. to me this is real and undeniable now here is the hard part for me: letting life unfold there is no control here. no guarantees. bad things can happen. the worst. but good things too. people work things out. they grow. in my case i had quite limited parents. my dad was an addict. i have that always in my subconscious. i fight the fear of bad things happening. because i know they do. your son is a good and loving man/boy. i believe he will come through this strengthened. but there is no timetable or guarantee. of course we know that. it leaves us vulnerable, raw and afraid. which to me is in a way, love. we pray.
