[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 727837, member: 15032"] Copa so glad to hear that your son is in a good place right now. Ours is too. We are thankful and hopeful but that's as far as we can go right now. My son told us last night that he has written a letter "to dad". I'm anxious to see what he has to say to his dad who has really stood by him and always felt more hopeful than I have. However, he has also been very hurt and angry and cried over our son's choices and he is not one to break down. Cynlee we all enable because it can take years to figure out what we're even dealing with! I know that happened to us. We were spinning for years not knowing which end was up. I had a hard time facing and accepting the fact that our son was an addict. There was no other explanation. I don't even like to use that word. I prefer to say he has a "substance abuse problem". I do not want his addiction to identify who he is because he is and can be so much more than that. This is tough stuff. [/QUOTE]
