[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 748018, member: 22817"] It is hard to let go but I am doing my best. Had blocked his phone for 4 weeks and just recently unblocked it due to issues he was having after getting hit by the car in January. The insurance company of the young man who hit him was saying that my son will be liable for part of the medical bills, etc. He really didn't need that just getting into treatment again. I have not made any contact with my son other than telling him how much the new mattress and loveseat will cost. I was able to get the code numbers of what I had purchased originally but that is all I sent him. He has not made contact with me either. It is really hard not knowing what is going on. Not knowing if he is doing an IOP or anything that will keep him accountable. I keep telling myself that this is his path to walk. As far as seeing my therapist, I was and now I just go to parents meetings. I was talking to the family counselor where my son was getting treatment. She helped me a lot as well. However, she felt I should tell my son about the family dog that we had to put to sleep back in February. She felt it was best to tell him while he was in treatment during the day. I could not bring myself to tell him. He hadn't asked about the dog since probably the beginning of January so I felt it was weird calling him and telling him the dog had got very sick, etc. He was only sober 10 days and I just couldn't tell him. I know at some time I will need to but I felt it weird to just call and tell him that when he hasn't even showed the slightest interest in anything but himself. I guess I made the wrong decision there but I was scared. [/QUOTE]
