[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 686387, member: 18516"] Thank you all for your responses. It means so much to me!!! I wonder about my son as well. I too wonder the same but I cannot dwell on that. The sincere willingness to turn his life around, that is it. I have told my husband that often. What would that look like? It would be so much more than a panicked message. I truly do hope that he has quit drinking, smoking and stealing but the only way that is going to have an impact on me or him is if it's long term, not just a couple of months. This is so true Copa. Like i said, I'm not even on his radar until he gets to this desperate stage. It's his cycle. He finds "love" a girlfriend and all is right with his world until the girlfriend sees him for how he really is, a moocher, then she leaves and then suddenly I'm the one he reaches out to. I never hear from him on any holiday's, birthdays, mother's day, father's day, no, only when HIS world falls apart. Love this Copa! It's going in my "toolbox" It is cruel. My son thinks only of himself. To ask how I am or his dad or any other family member. If I were to get a message like that I think I would stare at it for a long time in disbelief! Exactly SWOT! What do they expect from us???? Yes, I too would still rather love even with the pain. I always hope this for him, that one of these times it will be enough and he will not only want to change but will put forth the effort. This is his cycle. You would think I would be used to it by now after so many years. I don't think any of us can ever really get used to it. Again, thank you all for your replies, your caring, your hugs. I will now resume cruising altitude and go about my living my life. ((HUGS)) to you all............................. [/QUOTE]
