[QUOTE="overcome mom, post: 758213, member: 23328"] Helpless, I can sure relate to what you are going through. I can't tell you how many times I have been in your shoes. The same exact begging, guilt and apologies. With my son I do think he feels sorry once he is locked up and sober but then he does it again, and again. I know the sadness that comes watching your child self destruct. I too have a hard time not taking the phone calls. I feel bad that he is locked up with no one else to talk to. What I try to remember is this was his choice and not mine and I shouldn't feel bad,depressed all the time because of choices he made. My son is not locked up at the moment. He is on furlough from the court at a sober living house. I know it is just a matter of time before he gets locked up again. I just keep telling myself that I have no control over his behavior but I can control mine. I think it is a great idea to limit the calls and the times. I would let him know the specifics and stick to it. If you are like me every time the phone rings I tense up. [/QUOTE]
