[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 703506, member: 17635"] Echo, Huge hugs. You help the rest of us so much. Your post brought a lump to my throat --way before it got to the arrest. How wonderful you and the family got to spend time with your son -even the obnoxious movie behavior (which made me chuckle a little, altho I get the embarrassing part for the rest of the group). This time together may have made the arrest hurt you more short term, but will make it hurt much less down the road. I know you are thankful for the time you had. He**/da**, I am most thankful you had that time, too. VERY. What a gift - forever. I think what you said to your son about crying for 24 hrs. and then getting it together was perfect. Wonderful you could respond so well, while feeling numb. Love all what Alby said. [I]I am happy that he could have a connection with so many members of his family, even if just for a day, to mark a place in their hearts. I am happy that he could feel your strength bolstering him when he called. I am happy that your heart can rest easy, knowing he is safe, that he will not be sleeping under a bridge tonight. I am very grateful that we have this place to share our hurts, fears and vulnerabilities. Without the support of others in similar situations, I know I would have lost myself long ago to grief or hard-heartedness or hopelessness. *****************[/I] after so many years away from the family gatherings that he loved so much, how super fantastical wonderful he got this done....that you all had this time. I am guessing memories of this time help him get to sleep many a night and bring him smiles. Here is to hope your son gets help this go-round that sticks. We must keep the hope. Your son, as you have shared about him through the last couple years (since I found the forum), has always shown a certain poignant innocence, love and sensitivity. All of this addiction hell is just too unbelievably horrible for the humans we raised. We may never truly understand, but we gain strength from getting through it together. Both you and your son are in my thoughts and prayers. [I] [/I] [/QUOTE]
