[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 738837, member: 1550"] I learned late in life but better late than never, not to look at what other peiple text or put on FB or put anywhere. I am sorry. Your therapist in my opinion should have told you not to look. Mine did and I havent. You will never know the result of him wanting a gun because addicts lie if their lips are moving and words are just b.s. If you want to know how your son is doing all you can do is go by what you know about his actions. A good clue is that he spent a lot of money at a weed store, asked you for money (a big sign of addiction), that he still expects you to pay for who knows what instead of getting another job and lives above a bar. The degree of his alcoholism.is severe if he gets the DTs. Not all addicts are there yet. The scary fact is thay we cant stop our adultfs from harming themselves. Giving them money in of itself actually helps them die. I figured this one out with my daughter. To her no matter what she claimed the money was for, it went to help her buy her drugs of choice. We house them and they have extra money for drugs. Or booze. Or both. At any time our money can be used to help them OD and maybe die. Our best bet in my opinion is not to help them pay for trouble. And talking to them wont stop them from doing what they want to do. Your son is not going to tell you the truth about the gun, if he even really means to get one. But dont give him an extra dime. Dont help him buy one. Dont read his cell phone ever. I probably would find another therapist. The therapist is supposed to help YOU live a better life, not talk to you about spying on your son or what to do for him. She doesnt know. But this is jmo. I hope you feel better once you go home and stay home. In his addiction, you cant help him. It will only hurt you and your hub and dear daughter and not help him. Listen to your daughter. Count your blessings. You have a great husband and daughter. And you are terrific. You deserve to be happy. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
