[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 763557, member: 18958"] You are strong. I think your support is crucially important for your son. What hurts me, is how hurt you become when he leaves or rejects great opportunities. You get your hopes up, and then get crushed. What I would wish for you is that you learn from other mothers of addicted young men, how they have changed their thinking and behavior so as to grow a thicker skin. Al-Anon or Nar Anon would be a place to meet these mothers and hear their stories. Or even posting here every day, the feedback you would get would help you learn to protect yourself. I think this is great that you have secured this second chance for your son at a program that is responsible. You can keep this in your back pocket until he may be ready to try again. I would not bring this up until he tells you he is ready and wants to re-enter a good and serious program. [/QUOTE]
