[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 606461, member: 1721"] You sound like you are handling this well. Good for you. It's hard to handle it when we don't hear from them. Just about the time we accept that, things change. That's hard, too. I am glad you told him you love him. He needs to know that. I think you did the right thing by not texting. Best to keep your privacy and independence. It's a strange thing, but once we realize how much better life is without difficult child trauma/drama, the difficult child has less power over us. I am glad your son is alive, healthy, and appears to be going in a better direction. It helped us, when our son was coming back from addiction, to tell him (every chance we got) that he had been raised better than to do what he was doing. I think it helps the difficult child to remember who he was meant to grow up to be. I think remembering that helps them to be strong enough to reclaim themselves. This is hopeful news. Holding a thought for you, today. Cedar [/QUOTE]
