[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 714625, member: 15032"] My son did all of this while using too. I never thought I could hate hoodies as much as I do. It's a piece of clothing but represents so much to me that I detest. He's now living a plane flight away from us and I.like.it. I don't feel guilty much for liking it anymore. He has been struggling with addiction since the age of 15. I do not have a relationship with him right now due to his last relapse and mom done suffering for his bad choices. I did write him a letter telling him that HE is the problem but HE is also the solution! Wow there's not many situations in life that fall into this category I think! We were in a tailspin with our son then at age 20 we finally had had enough and said rehab or find another place to live. He had been to rehab several times. He chose rehab and then we told him he could not come back home because past behaviors were that he'd do fine for a while and then start to again feed his addiction. Rinse and repeat. He has been struggling in Florida also but he is growing and learning. I do see some improvement. He used to live on my couch. Now he is working and in sober living and will start college in the fall while staying in sober living. His dad is going to visit him this week. Sometimes you have to FORCE IT. It's not the life we wanted for our family. But these things happen and you just have to deal with them the best that you can. Don't let him sabotage your life, your health and your marriage. It's not fair and you don't really have to allow this in your home. My husband and I saw an addiction specialist together to figure out how to deal with our son. My husband is not big into therapy etc. but said he'd go IF and only IF I'd agree to do whatever we were told. I did and now we are all in a much better place. We love our son very much. We want to see him succeed. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
