[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 740433, member: 15801"] Thanks. I feel on more solid footing myself right now. Still haven;t heard anything from my son. We do have a call with his treatment team tomorrow so I will hear something tomorrow. But I am back to looking forward to our vacation. Somehow for me I had to really think about what situations would make me come back... kind of like I had to think about it now before anything happens because if something does happen I wont be able to think straight. So I got clear.... the only reason I will come back is if he is in the hospital and my being here might actually help. I certainly wouldnt come back if he violates probation and ends up in jail. The worst case scenario would be if he overdosed and died.... that feels unbearable and I have to assume that won’t happen. If he is relapsing and in bad shape well my being here won’t change that..... so anyway for me thinking the worse case scenarios helped me think of what I would do... .and the reality is my son is a survivor, has been on the streets before and has there are some good supports in place for him. So good chance he will be fine and so I am going to go and have a good time. We shall see how I feel after our call tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
