[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 12289, member: 2389"] SF ~ I plan on going through his room and changing it to a guest room. At this point I plan on packing his things and storing them in the attic. I let him pick the paint for his room and the walls are burgandy and gray, so hopefully a fresh coat of white will help to change it dramaticly. Barbara ~ You have a gift! I get so much from your post! I think because I have the same thoughts regarding my difficult child, but you seem to put my thoughts in print and it is so reassuring. I am taking my time and thinking through everything before I talk to husband or difficult child about what help we can provide in the future. I know that my difficult child can twist things to his benefit before I realize what has happened. And he knows better than anyone else where my buttons are and how to push them before I realize it. I know husband and I have to be on the same page, honestly we both have needed the break from the issues of difficult child this weekend and have not even mentioned it to each other. I told difficult child repeatedly before he went to rehab (when I suspected he was using) that I would move a mountain for him if he was trying to help himself and do the right thing. I also said if he chose the wrong road I would not help him in any way go down it. Hindsight ~ He was high when we were having these talks. He would be awake in the wee hours and I couldn't sleep with all the worry. I would go into the den and talk to him and he was so willing to talk. I thought I was really getting somewhere, sadly it was the cocaine that was calming him and producing the mellow, understanding conversation. I have learned alot. I still have so much more to learn. I feel very blessed to have found this board so full of wisdom and concern. Again I say~ God Bless You All for being so willing to draw on your past very painful situations to help others that are just beginning to realize what is in store for them in the future [/QUOTE]
