well, one year ago we brought our son home from soberliving. It was risky, hard and tested how hard our boundaries were going to be. He is sober now living his way. It's not about Us approving or even dreaming that everything will be ok, it's about him finding his way and us working to accept...

well, just a hard day. I was right, son lost his job, why, who cares I don't think he's being honest. He is sick at girls house and low on money. He has not asked for anything, but his life is soon going to get very tough. He will get a job and make it or be homeless. Pretty sure her family...

It will be in two short weeks that our son will return home to live with us. He is excited as we are to see him move on and continue his growth...and there is always the fear of the unknown. We have a therapist for him and us....she helped guide us to a great contract rule guide. Mtgs for him...
