[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 686300, member: 15801"] My son sounds similar as well although may be farther along in the journey..he is 24 and been in many programs. He was angry at us for years for various things...some of which were silly and some which were understandable (although also things we had to do). He has bee in lots of rehabs, spent time on the streets, been in jail. In his travels he has met many folks and we have stuck by him so I think he has come to realize that we love him and are good parents. I don't think he is angry with us in general although certainly he gets mad over things. I think it's important tor us to look at the past, accept our mistakes (all parents make them), realize we have done the best we can....and then let them have their feelings, process it with their therapist and not take their anger personally. It is part of what they have to work through in the process of recovery. [/QUOTE]
