[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 708143, member: 16761"] Copa, Hey I'm here. You know in your heart (since your son is older and has been on his own before) that all these rules and restrictions are only an illusion of your control. You don't have control over this situation, you never have and you never will. I know how when they come back saying all the right things it gives us hope and then we try to structure things for them to succeed. Because they do need structure and they do need rules, we are not wrong in thinking that. But that can't come from us. I know you know this, you just need to break out of this again and gain some clarity. It is my husband's birthday today. My son wrote him a text saying all the right things, things he's never said before. I walked in the room to find husband clutching his phone with tears rolling down his face. I read it and asked him what he thought. He said he thinks he is high (benzo). Sad. My point is, we can't even believe what they say, we have to believe what they do. Ok, so I have to say something about marijuana. I have glaucoma and take it medically. It seems to be the only thing keeping me from having surgery (which will have to happen).
