[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 726836, member: 19887"] LBL You have come so far and the goal of rehab is in sight! Sometimes this is when it gets the most exhausting.... I don’t blame you for feeling relief when he stayed at GFs ,I often felt that way when Son was living in terrible places but at least I didn’t have to witness it.i remember one place he lived has drug addicts downstairs and they were old timers and I can remember thinking that would be him.... and I would still be visiting and dropping off KD to him.... but I would be an old lady. I remember the despair I felt he would never want to get better and be a “normal” person. I still can’t believe how quickly he turned it around once HE decided. Nothing I had done or said made a difference. Even the intervention his friends did wasn’t the catalyst however it did give him resolve and made him see he needed help. He told me the other day he made the decision in the spring ( when he first called and told me he wanted to go to detox) but it did take a few slips and scares (and a bad car accident) to get him to take it the next level... I pray everyday this is it. But who knows... Your son is so young and you do have rehab coming so I think surviving the next weeks is key... you can do this. You have been through much more. But I know you are tired, and I hope you can find the strength to take care of you .... almost there! I don’t come here as often now that Son is sober but I am not at the finish line either and come to see you all and check in. Hugs all.... [/QUOTE]
