[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 565296"] Speaking for myself...realizing I'm exhausted after being in a Family Program for two days followed today by a horrid phone counseling session with difficult child, whether it gets better or not isn't important to me anymore. He has abused me enough. I will take him to an expensive after care facility next week but with tight restrictions on what I am willing and not willing to do. It is to the point that I refuse to be in the car alone with him. After two rehabs, weeks of aftercare, months in a sober living facility, either he will get it or he won't. Either way, I am going to forge ahead in my life and take really good care of me. I am not responsible for his disease or his relapses or his recovery. During the call today, he blamed me for his last relapse....heck, if I was that powerful, I think I would change him the other way, not into a two pints of vodka drinking idiot out driving a car I'm responsible for....DUH!! As my sponsor said, this aftercare facility is for ME, not him. If he uses it, ok. If he doesn't, ok. Either way, I know I did everything. If he gets kicked out, I'm done. If he graduates, I will take him to a sober living facility without a big admission fee that will charge HIM rent and provide transportation to him for a fee. No car or cell. Earn them. While he is at the aftercare place, I will participate as they request but I will not listen to his abuse. I'm to the point where I wish he was never born. Sorry if this is offensive to anyone. It's early, I cannot go back to sleep, I'm alone, afraid, and hurt. been dealing with hateful, selfish addicts since I was 8. just want it all over with. [/QUOTE]
