[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 739464, member: 15032"] Albie Don't feel foolish about your advice. It's so hard to see the forest for the trees when we are in the thick of it. I, for one, have gotten great advice from you and what happened to your son does not change that one iota. My son has been sober for a year now but he is in a program and HAS TO BE. Of course, we forced him into it but he could have left (and go where - but so be it). I told him last week on the phone that I was having a terrible time trying to sort out my feelings about him coming home in November. We moved to a new state and he has a wonderful opportunity to start over. I told him that I did NOT UNDERSTAND HOW someone could give up everyone they love and everything they LOVE for a drug. I just don't get it. HOW. Crickets on the phone. He had no answer for me. He then said that maybe I'm not supposed to understand. We may never understand this but maybe we have to be at peace with that. I don't know but I will continue to struggle with this. [/QUOTE]
