[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 761031, member: 15032"] Helpless I'm so sorry to hear this new development but not surprised. Your son isn't ready to turn his life around yet and he is still on the wrong path as you know. My husband and I were talking about this over the weekend. We went out of town for one night (only a few hour drive from home) and just talked out how he'd get out of one pickle (thanks to our help/encouragement) and right into another one, a worse one, until we just didn't care anymore. Well we did care, but you know what I mean. He was just not "getting it". I remember my therapist saying that everything you taught your son is still there. All the values and morals and honesty etc. I was like "REALLY???". I honestly could not even believe that a tiny bit - that ANY of this was in his brain as he was doing everything the complete opposite of what he was taught. The biggest one was NOT learning from his mistakes!!! So what I'm saying is hang in there, don't give up HOPE. Take care of yourself and your littles and pray. A lot. I don't know how we DO this but we have to do this. We have no other choice. You cannot let him destroy YOU and it will if you don't work hard not to let it. Cyber hugs and strength coming your way. :grouphugg: [/QUOTE]
