[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 739300, member: 18958"] This is infuriating. Albatross. Is it not possible that he was fooling himself? That he was just as seduced by the idea of recovery and that he was recovering, as everybody else. People play roles, that they do not necessary feel to be guile. I acted one way at work and quite another at home. Both are true, depending upon the circumstances. The part that would make me bitter is the complete lack of considering this impact on you and his Dad. His cluelessness as to his betrayal of everybody who believes in him and wants him to be okay. Have his friends in sober living actually located and spoken to him? My son is like that with respect to money. He is one person with money in his pocket and another without. The former is arrogant, entitled and indifferent. The latter is humble, diffident manipulative and a liar. I guess I am mad because it gives me a little bit of pleasure to write that it feels good to have distanced myself from him for now, so I do not have to deal anymore with this Jeckyl and Hyde. These guys have to begin to integrate their own personalities, and the only way this happens is that they suffer. I hate typing that too. But there seems to not be another way. I am glad you checked in Albatross. [/QUOTE]
