[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 681294, member: 19887"] We did leave for our vacation. Of course it rained all day yesterday ⛈ We have heard from the boys. So far everything is fine, so to speak. I am hoping the time away lets us clear our heads in dealing with this. Honestly he can do anything with us there or not. He has. I know we have to be clearer in our boundaries, and we have to a point. We are pretty sure he isn't dealing anymore, as we have access to his accounts and he doesn't know that. We are more concerned with the addiction at this point. He has gone weeks without using, so I think he thinks it's not as bad. However our last conversation left me thinking he is staring to think differently. He has promised to go to meetings this week to just listen, it's a start. I know it's not detox or rehab, but it's a start. We can't force him to do anything . It has to be his choice. I know others have opinions, and I do value them, some apply to us, some don't. It's hard to give the whole picture in a post. I appreciated all replies, even if I don't think they Apple to us. I can take something from all of you, so thank you. Please keep posting. I may seem naive, and maybe I am, but I do believe my son in most of what he says. I have to. He is a good person, and he needs someone who believes in him. I had many of his issues with anxiety and depression when I was young, and I did some drugs, not to the extent he did. I have worked through most of my issues, and I have faith he can too. It just breaks my heart to see him so sad and down on himself. He said he felt good about himself when he was working as a teachers assistant last year. I'm hoping he can get healthy enough to do that again. [/QUOTE]
