[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743096, member: 23371"] Please be prepared for him to have disappeared when you get there. How many of us have spent days looking for our missing kids? By which I mean those who choose to be missing to us. These are their choices. It would be wonderful if he is looking for your strength to do this difficult thing. If all he needs is you by his side to face his difficult path. But as you read this do you, in your heart, believe that is all he needs? It is a much harder road that he faces than just the flight and first day. You all know this. The detox alone is horrible and he will do that in prison, not on a comfortable rehab. Then prison. I am just hoping that you are prepared for this likelihood. He has spent much time now demonstrating that he is not strong enough, even with a lot of support, to stay sober. The amount of strength it will take to get on that flight knowing the result is phenomenal. While I know this is harsh, please be sure that you have protected yourself. You don't want a charge of aiding and abetting or whatever. Be sure that he cannot take your wallet and head for another country while he hugs you at the airport. He is an addict and desperate addicts do desperate things. Again, I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but this is an extreme situation. [/QUOTE]
