[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 727009, member: 19887"] I know the panic of unanswered calls and texts well.... I’m sure we all do. So frustrating to be waiting so long! I know once he gets there you will have some reprieve from the constant anxiety and worry. This is not a journey any of us wished to take with our kids and only those who have been on it can really understand . When I hear others complain about routine or normal things their kids are doing I feel like saying “oh lighten up!” And have to bite my tongue not to be dismissive of their reality. I would never have guessed or predicted this horrible experience and I know my son will be an addict his whole life. I’m sure we will have other times he struggles and I can’t even let myself go there mentally or emotionally. I try so hard to live in the moment and be positive today. Most days I can. For now. You have been through so much and are so strong. But I know how much it drains you and is so exhausting! Know you aren’t alone on this very treacherous journey, there are many of us and even though it can feel lonely know you are not alone. Hugs [/QUOTE]
