[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 694290, member: 20051"] LMS, Your son is in a program, right? Does he go to AA/NA or at least some sort of recovery group? It is likely that he is working on or talking about his past issues there where is it "safe" in that he feels no other judgment from other addicts because they have done the same, and they weren't hurt by his behavior. I am not saying that you are judging him, I am saying that he feels guilt towards you because he had a responsibility towards you, that he doesn't towards his peers. If he is working through steps he may not have made it to "amends" yet. It takes time. If he is focused on his recovery he will get there, but there is a lot of other stuff to work through before he is ready to discuss it with you. He sounds like he is doing really well. Be happy about that. Be supportive and upbeat and support the strides he has made. Let him know, through your attitude and behavior that you support his strides and forgive his errors, There is not point in dragging up the past. If he is serious in his recovery he knows and hurts about the bad things he has done. He will discuss it when he is ready and is emotionally strong enough to face it. [/QUOTE]
