[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 631196, member: 15801"] Hi all, So my difficult child is now in another halfway house... residential program. We saw him yesterday briefly when we took him some of his clothes. He didnt really want to take us inside to visit because I think he is a little embarrassed to have his parents come in, in front of the other guys. That is ok but we got to talk a little bit with him outside. I had taken him there last week and it was an awful ride, he was mad at me and a jerk and I was sick. He called me the next day and apologized which was amazing as it is the first time he has ever called to apologize and not asked for anything. He has called a couple of times since and we have had good conversations. He has not asked for money or for cigarettes which is also big progress!! All he asked was for us to bring him some of his stuff. In his first call he sounded depressed and it is hard for him to adjust, once again to a new place. But yesterday he sounded good, up beat and motivated. He even mentioned a guy from the last place who has just graduated that program and been clean for 18 months... he said he was thinking of asking him to be his sponser. For him to even mention that was progress. I feel like we are inching towards a closer relationship with of course set backs along the way.... oh and much to my relief his girlfriend is not pregnant! Now we shall see how things go. In a few days at this place he will be allowed to get 5 hour passes....and I am not sure how he will handle that. It will give us a chance to see him, but also gives him a chance to get in trouble. But I cant do anything about that. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
