[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 704637, member: 17720"] Oh no, Echo. I'm sorry he is thinking this way. I hope your words helped him to see himself and his future enough to understand what a mistake that would be. Your tempering it with tears made me tear up too. I hope so, so much that the moment he heard you stays in his heart. The last conversation I had with son degenerated into some unholy name-calling and a full-blown fit when I mentioned the R-word (REHAB). Being his target doesn't feel right...certainly not good for me, and why have conversations that serve only to agitate? Blocking him completely doesn't feel right...his addict is the one doing the talking right now, and given his lifestyle, I fear we might never speak again. I ended up telling him I have faith in him and love him very much but am taking a break from responding for awhile. I am not sure how I feel about doing that. Sometimes there is just no good path.
