[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 696175, member: 19966"] OMG. That was a brazen, desperate, serious act! You could easily have been fired. And he, in big trouble. Was he high when he did that? Or, was he sober and desperately seeking a higho_O? You probably have no idea. mof- I am not worried about not having heard from him. The fact that he has access to a phone each night for a set period of minutes, and has not called me - merely confirms to me, that he knows I am[B] pissed[/B]. Having said that, I definitely think I'd have heard from him on day 1 or 2, if he did not think I was pissed. I think, feel like I am his security blanket, so to speak - which is not good. I am his mother, yes, but he is an adult now, not a child. He should not be leaning so heavily on me, like he still does. Seeing this so clearly now, hopefully will help me to detach more so & at a more rapid rate than I have been. I look at it like an equation now: [I]sobriety for him = me detaching + him having to deal with his anxiety issues & his issues stemming from his (active or past) addiction [/I] Ha. I sound so strong, stoic ^^^. I'm so not:(. The Nar-Anon meeting on Thursday night was very good. I spoke, started to cry, but contained it (sort of) - everyone (there 19 in there) rushed to pass me the tissues:redface:. I like this group, I need to try and make an effort to get to at minimum,[COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)] one[/COLOR] of the Tuesday or Thursday night mtgs. [/QUOTE]
