[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 533287"] Well progress is being made!!! Today I was thinking of how he hadn't called and the phone rang and it was him. We had a really good conversation. He said he is doing better, that he has a better attitude and had stopped being an a***ole to people. We asked how that felt and he said better. All in all he sounded pretty good really. He also said he had written both us and his sister a letter which we got today. I just read the letter which was written before that last call with the therapist. I have to say it is one of the most honest and open letters he has ever written. It is not realistic about his drug problems, but he does talk about his resentment to us but also does not blame us. His point, which is well taken, is that he really wants help with his mental health issues. He also really wants to get his life on track...... so there is some really good stuff in the letter although he clearly is not totally where he needs to be either. But both the letter and the conversatin give me hope. He is thinking about things and seems to want to work on things..... so we shall see. I know this is a roller coaster and we are on the upswing right now.... but I am bracing myself for the down part..... Been through this too much to be unrealistic. Thanks for all of your support.
