[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746634, member: 18958"] This makes sense to me, too. I think you are asking a lot of yourself. Maybe I am speaking from my own limits, but I get anxious just reading this. I do not even know whether I think it is in his interests that he have this kind of conversation with you. And I am unsure if I feel it is appropriate that you want to have this conversation with him. This is a conversation about motivations, conflicts, that I believe is the role of the treatment facility to have. Now. This part of it, I think is your terrain. I don't think you have a lot of choice here, because the process does happen, regardless of what we do. But what you are talking about is not stepping into it. Setting a boundary in the kindest and most subtle of ways, without getting his hackles up. And not baiting the bull with the red flag, let alone the little knives. What about this? [I]I think you need to talk to the treatment facility about this and work it out with them. [/I] Isn't it really between your son and the facility? [/QUOTE]
