[QUOTE="mof, post: 697632, member: 20533"] So...no one has to read this but I need to unpack my weekend with boy visit. 1- he is on so many medications...we have established a new psychiatrist here, for when he moves home... 2- He is still a teenager in attitude. Some good behavior, and some being in the recovery bubble has not helped. 3- we presented his home " boundary" contract. Some push back, but he signed...took copy. Back to discuss with his iop group. 4- apparently when he renewed his drivers license, he listed his mental issues re s...so now the state wants proof he is in his right mind to drive! Ok...we won't let him anyhow til he earns it. But at this point I'm laughing ..... 5- now this is from his counselor..not me. They feel he is not a true opiate addict...WHAT? He has no cravings....He was heavily self medicating...and by whatever Grace isn't in jail for dealing. I know addicts do...but I can't handle the truth!!! 6- I knew this...but he will never be the man we thought, this is just what it is. 7- He admitted to loving weed, tho He understand s it's illegal, and not tolerated here. That is a slippery slope when he's on his own. 8- We still support him coming home. He already got his old seasonal job back at the ice cream parlor...but better to look for a better job while working. So other than amazed at how much he eats...gained so much, not sure if medication thing. His love of piercings, which is a boundary for us. He was fun loving with his brothers, and respectful. We give thanks for his recovery and being sober. He agreed on a sponsor and finishing the steps. He never wants to do opiates again. He smokes, but only about 4 a day..?! He's seems to want to give out up so his teeth stay white...a teenager attitude.... I know it could be worse. He will come on his 20th birthday, and another journey will begin. Ill call this one....man child 2.0. Thanks for letting me vent...mof [/QUOTE]
