[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714274, member: 15032"] Enjoy your trip Colleen. I am hopeful that my son will be his old self someday for good as SWOT mentions. He always was in between his substance abuse binges. We always thought it would be the "last time". It never was. Having him out of your home will make it easier on you. It has saved me from a nervous breakdown I think. Having them home under our nose doesn't help them make good choices; in our case absolutely not anyway. Our son did NOTHING. He is working now and figuring things out in sober living. I wish to God he could do it at home but I'm afraid to ever try that again. I am really learning how to be happy in spite of what he is doing. It's always there but it's gotten better for me. I guess it's detaching? I'm so thankful for that. It sounds like your son's friend could be good for him. That is odd about his family but there are so many dysfunctional families that have great kids...and the other way around!! Enjoy your trip with hubby and extended family! You deserve it. :4thbouquetsmily: [/QUOTE]
