[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 735916, member: 22817"] my son finally has went to a treatment facility for his alcoholism/addiction. They have requested I compose an Impact letter stating my feelings on how the addiction has affected me and our family. The last conversation I had with my son was not a good one. I was accused of being a liar, a scum bag, etc. I am someone he can not trust. I am having a very hard time writing this letter. I feel me telling him how this has ruined my life would just make him happy, and even happier to continue on his path of destruction. He is only willing to stay in treatment for 30 says.... Before he went he made the comment that even if he goes, he will most likely come out feeling the same way and take his life..... Any suggestions? Will 30 days in treatment even make a difference in him? Praying it will. God sure did send signs to help him to realize that he needed to go. SO I am praying that once he is more calm, he will be able to see clearly and realize I am not that horrible of a person he makes me out to be. [/QUOTE]
