[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 658689, member: 17635"] and, so it has begun. Two texts sent about 2:30AM, asking me to please call him because he needed to talk to his mom more than ever before. Then, a missed call about 3:30AM. [COLOR=#ff0000][B]He apologized for telling his father to go to hell [/B] [B]remembers me reading to him as a child and laughter[/B] [B]needs forgiveness[/B] [B]girlfriend has broken up with him[/B] [B]was clean for 8 months, now addicted again because of gout and pain pills[/B][/COLOR] It's like he had a check list of things to include (an apology, a memory, etc.) I have not texted back, though crazily enough, i considered it. husband and I talked and within 15 minutes there was more clarity. Perhaps later today I will text him that we love him and recommend him finding a 12-step group and a counselor and that we know he can kick this. (That sound good to you folks?) For new people, Difficult Child is 34 yo and we have years of emotional and verbal abuse from him, which only pretty much ended when his dad and I detached about 18 mos. ago. My mind conjures up lots of things i want to say--and feel entitled to say, but one thing I have learned on this board is [B]short and civil [/B]is best. Thanks again. We knew something like this was coming. SS [/QUOTE]
