[QUOTE="Waitingforamiracle, post: 760949, member: 25449"] Thanks so much JMom. I'm just reading (as I'm sure you are) Zopdrop's latest update and it resonates so much. My son (afaik) is not an addict, but the FOG of him returning home is the same. Zopdrop says the fact that he is her son makes a difference, and that is the stumbling block for many of us. Yes if it were a stranger we would not hesitate, I get that. It's not only our own FOG, but the mindset of our disordered children that is entitled, expecting to be helped or rescued that fuels our fear. I fear his reaction, whether it is to get angry, desperate or hopeless/suicidal. I fear his contacting me again, as any response I give (even no response) is read as damaging, wrong, or evil of me in his eyes. He isn't offering much information about his life and I don't want to get into questioning him, as I find communicating with him painful. I'm trying to put a plan in place for if he should return expecting to stay at our house. It is typical that he would not warn us, but just return, but so far he has not contacted us. I'll be sure to reach out if I do hear anything or anything happens! Xx [/QUOTE]
