[QUOTE="Nature, post: 741249, member: 19011"] I'm so sorry you are going through this and my heart goes out to you. I understand the helplessness of speaking to our child hearing their words and fearing they are in a desperate state and not being able to get through to them. You mentioned your child works if I read that correctly? That in itself shows responsibility and the way out to a better life. You mentioned the woman he made a connection with in rehab -perhaps he is listening to her words? Sometimes it's one person that makes a connection and will get through. The changing of the mindset isn't always apparent at first but slowly creeps into their psyche with time. You said: Does nothing except go to work, IOP and AA meetings. Those actions appear that he is doing "something" - however, his previous addiction leaves you wary and understandably you are concerned for his mental health. I pray you mom heart will be at ease with his accomplishments so far and the fact that he's openly able to speak to you about his mental health is seen as a positive. Many times those with dark thoughts may not share that with loved ones. Thank you Smithmom for sharing your story which gives hope to many. Your insight is invaluable and increases your level of understanding those who are walking the same path as you previously did. Hugs [/QUOTE]
