[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 709380, member: 15032"] As I have said before, I've cried an ocean already so yes, do have to find some humor in even the most painful things if possible. I would like to try a Xanax before I deal with my son too! LOL The one thing I love most about my husband is we can laugh together. I think that is why we have a good marriage. The hard part hasn't really hit yet. He took a 3 day Orlando drive with his girlfriend and they come back tomorrow. She had gotten a free ticket to a park and we gave him money for one in lieu of visiting us for his spring break early March. As I felt then and now can confirm, he wasn't ready to visit MY home. This Orlando trip had been planned for some time. She is on spring break. When he really sees it's the first of the month and doesn't have rent money that is when the real :censored2: will hit the fan. I have major anxiety over all of it. My husband, like yours SWTL, is handling but he is broken over this too. Does he really have to hit rock bottom, lose his place and job? Will he even get it then? He has already been sent away from his home, overdosed, had legal trouble etc. Lost all his friends here at home that moved on with their lives in a positive way. He does so good for about 3-4 months and then bam. Each time he relapses is not as bad....but. Maybe we've been too kind? Given him too much emotional support? Do I insist he see a therapist, and what good can that do? [/QUOTE]
