[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 686257, member: 19069"] So strange that you ask this today, I'm in the exact same boat. My son is in rehab and he has written me a letter. The counselor wants to have a family session on speaker phone with me this week and he is suppose to read me his letter. She told me that the letter addresses all the things my son is upset with me about, she said that I need to have an open mind that probably most of these things are not true but that it's his perception. She said I shouldn't argue or correct him but just say that I understand and I'm sorry for things that hurt him and that he felt that way. She did tell me one thing that hurt him was that I got married and had other children when it was just the two of us until he was 9 yrs old. Guess he wanted me to be alone forever. I'm nervous about it too. My son has totally not been honest with the rehab, he acts like he had a horrible childhood and that's the farthest thing from the truth. It will be very difficult not to defend some of the untrue accusations I'm sure I will hear. It's my understanding that addicts have to justify their addiction. I hope you will keep us posted so I will know how your session goes if it happens before mine. I don't know when it's happening yet. I'll keep u posted too. I definitely needed to hear to Zip It!!
