[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 678149, member: 15801"] Thought I would give an update. We are still visiting him and overall it's been a good visit. We have done some fun things, he is seeing us and I see no signs at all of drinking or drug use. The sober house he is in sounds ok but not great. He really thinks the IOP is really good. We met with a therapist there yesterday and I have to agree. They seem very good. We all met with her and it sounds like my son really wants this and sonriety which is very good. She asked us what we wanted and in addition to life goals for my son I said I wanted a closer relationship with him. I feel like he has put up a wall between us and although it is better than it was he still keeps a distance there. He agreed and what came out is he wants that distance...he is not ready to change that! So I said that I will accept that I am not going to push him to be closer than he wants. My hope of course is that at some point he will be ready to have a closer relationship. I do think and hope this place will really help him work through some of his issues. [/QUOTE]
