[QUOTE="Steely, post: 448786, member: 3301"] Wow - it must be such a hard decision to make. Yet I know me, and if it was my son, I would probably go see him too. This whole thing is so hard, because when these difficult children are sober they are so different - and when they are face to face with reality they are so different. Then the real world comes back - and they switch again to doing dope and using people. I can only speak from my experiences with my ex, so it is a bit different. I just remember having so much hope, over and over again, and then one day I realized he would never change. But that concept literally took a decade or more for me to truly embrace. And another decade for me to totally cut off all communication. You are just in the beginning, and he still might turn his life around - you never know. Many do. And I think the love of a parent can heal a lot of wounds - we just can't cure them. [/QUOTE]
