[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 740935, member: 22877"] I don't really think my son is getting better, just getting better at hiding it (short term at least). And he tells whoever he's talking to at the moment what he thinks they want to hear or what will put him in the best light, particularly if he's after something, like money, a place to stay, or sympathy. He's almost 30 and he seems to want eternal spring break with no responsibilities or consequences. He needs an aha moment or wakeup call really badly. I got mine when I found out I was pregnant. He's lost three friends to overdose in the past year, he's been virtually homeless for over a year, unemployed for the better part of two years, and has lost almost everything he had, including a Cubs license plate that my husband airbrushed for him. His physical appearance is going downhill, his teeth which he has always been so proud of are turning brown, and he's racing to catch up with, (I'm 63) in the wrinkles and gray hair department. It's really heartbreaking seeing pictures of him. He looks more like 40 than 30. If none of that doesn't set off the light bulb over his head, I hate to think about what it might take, and that it might be too late by then. [/QUOTE]
