[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 739167, member: 15032"] HH You have gotten great advice and support here. I think HE has to feel the consequences of his actions. Mom and dad are out living life, eating what they want, showering when they want, doing what THEY want and I am in here having to be told what to do and when. Yes, that's right. Our adult children's choices get them to where they are and they may not like it. You know what I say to that? Tough. Too bad!!! Get used to it. Your bad choices are what got you here. My son will spend his 23rd birthday next week in his program. I wish I could say this was the only birthday he spent this way but it is not. In fact I think it's the third one - not all consecutive but nonetheless. What a waste!! How stupid. How idiotic!! Are you a complete moron or what??? He had MANY changes to change things around. We were right there to rush to help him IF he did. I think he has learned this time through establishing a strong faith and being sober for long enough to think straight and SEE how awful his life has really been! He has seen others in his program that are older and maybe even parents and have wasted so much time!! I could not do this for him. We were good parents too. We did most things right. We have two older boys that are wonderful and doing well so we know we did something right!! This is a horrible journey I would not wish on my worst enemy. It's so good that we can all be here for one another. [/QUOTE]
