[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631975, member: 17542"] Hi Scott, so glad to hear the outcome of your talk and that you and your wife are going to work on your marriage. That is great news in and of itself! Realizing that now the real work begins, I think it's good to stop and realize that this is a success and a victory. Scott, it would help you tremendously, and as you go, and share some of what happens there with your wife, in time she might be willing to join you there. Counseling with a good counselor is always helpful. It is so gratifying to talk with someone who just listens and then guides and directs to new ways of healthy thinking. With all you have been through, like you said, there is a lot of work to be done: forgiveness, renewal of your marriage, grief over difficult child and I'm sure, more, like there is for all of us. And likely, you will need to forgive yourself. It's incredible what we endure and the damage that is done to so many by living with addiction. It sounds like your son has many good qualities but he has been unable to loosen the grip of his disease. There is always hope, and it is, of course, completely up to him. Wishing you forward progress, Scott. [/QUOTE]
