[QUOTE="Nature, post: 740288, member: 19011"] I'm so sorry and really understand your sadness at this recent outcome. I agree with the others your son's words mean a lot as he sounds like any other person whom just lost his job. What I mean is his mindset if that of anyone who loses their job and not a drug addicted person who plays the blame game. There is a lot to be said about that. I also recently posted under the title "Really" where I feared due to circumstances my recovering son may lose his job. I KNOW I can't take on his problems and yet I spent a sleepless night worried about it as I know for a person in recovery a job is helping that part of the process. Yet, the ability to handle life's problems is also part of real life and am encouraged by your son's response. Perhaps this will ease your mind a little bit. Again, one step forward, two steps back but who is to say in the grand scheme of things if this will only eventually lead to a better job that he might not otherwise get if he was still at his current job? The thing is we don't know and please try to enjoy your vacation as your mind and body needs this much needed break. You deserve it. [/QUOTE]
