[QUOTE="missy44, post: 288749, member: 6201"] HI All, Things are going really well, I just had a "weak" moment. I have them time to time. Yes, we do have a plan. Sometimes when I think of possibly having to put that plan into place in the future I get panicky. I do try to live by the "12" hour rule, just get through the next 12 hours. Our plan is "any drugs" whatsoever and you're out. He's clear on that, he has random drug testing with his psyc and has agreed to share those results with us. So far, so good. Everyday seems to get better, but I have those moments where my thoughts run away with me. The therapy I"m receiving with my husband helps, but other times I look for suggestions from this board where I know there are those who have been down the same road. Star, I'm very my proud of my son as well. He has taken all of these steps on his own, we're just helping him along. He loves his psyc, his counselling and his medications. He knows he needs them and he really wants to live the type of life he grew up with (which wasn't a life of drugs or criminal behaviour). His relationships with everyone have improved. Especially his siblings. I love the fact that laughter is back in the home. I tell my son everyday (and my other children) that I'm so proud of him and that he can do whatever he sets his mind to. Trust will take a long time, that I'm sure of. I find each day I trust him a little more but for now it's overshadowed with doubt. As a parent it's so hard to detach. I did that (very well I think) during the time when he was unreachable. Now that he's doing so well detachment becomes more difficult. I'm trying to work on detachment when things are going well, being hopeful but being prepared for the worst case scenario, and trying to enjoy everyday. I am so lucky to have the husband I do, the children I have, my job and just life in general. I'm hoping this a "bump" in the road. I hear that many children come back to their roots, I know I did. I hope this is the same (in my heart I feel that it is). I'll check back soon, thanks everyone for taking the time to share your thoughts and advice with me. Missy [/QUOTE]
