[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 764285, member: 13558"] I can not find the words that would come close to trying to give you comfort. My son has relapsed after 4 years of a fairly stable life style. He has Baker Acted himself 3 times in about a 6 weeks time frameI panicked as I'm sure most parents understand. He broke up with his financee and has found the 'one' quickly. She is so wonderful and is helping him to stay sober. She also doesn't work, is a recovering drug addict. He told me she told him you don't have to use alcohol to party, so I'm sure he has replaced alcohol with another drug. He posts to FB at 4am about having a natural high. He posts pics of cutting hinself which I reported and FB admin too down immediately. He was also mixing other drugs with alcohol. He does have a job so her attraction to him is possibly his paycheck. I fell back into 'fix it' mode. Constant request for so much money. No amount is ever enough. He was arrested for tresspassing, it was ONLY $100 so I bailed him out. All of his friends and between them they can' t come up with $100? His court date wasn't until the end of Nov & he would loose his job. He does need to work. Then, the police lost his backpack with all of his belongings so I bought a cheap phone replacement. Of course, that mobile doesn't work, he can't return it to Walmart because he didn't keep the box and he needs money to mail it to Motorola. I say no and get 4 text messages, Pleeeeeese! He even sent a text last Saturday night asking me to order him & girlfriend a pizza. Many texts later he requested, well just send me $20 and I'll order it myself. I had so hoped my 44 year old son would finally turn his life around. I get jerked back into the same place I was 10/20 years ago. I spent weeks rereading this forum, books, meditating, crafting. Hubby is not bio dad and that really helps me stay balanced. Hubby is also getting on my last frayed nerve, as everything is right now, lol. My heart aches for your loss, I have lost my mother and 2 sisters recently and I know as painful as that loss is it can never compare to losing a child. My son has had 3 or 4 'friends' die from fentanyl overdoses recently. That has not stopped him from using. My stomach stays in knots waiting for 'the' phone call. I have become very spiritual over the years, but I'm starting to believe there is no hell, other than here on earth. I wish you comfort, please don't judge your mother too harshly, I'm sure she is devastated too. [/QUOTE]
