[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 727100, member: 18958"] I want to say hi and give a short update. But first, I am thinking of your mother new leaf and sending prayers. This has been the longest 3 weeks I can remember. My son is still in the sober living house. Which means he must be sober. He was not talking to me and not reachable. Phone disconnected. I did not know his address. I was inconsolable. Because see. I had set a boundary. And believed he would not forgive me. Ever. Irrational. Yes. A few days ago I saw him. He looked horrible. Clean. But haggard in the face. Looked in agony. We talked a few minutes. He was depressed. Despairing. Almost broken. no swagger, no arogance at all. But he likes the sober living house. There are 10 men. He seems to care about them. He was not mad at me. Accepting of love. I remembered after, that he must be feeling all of the feelings that he had been drugging away for 6 years and that I need to be able to tolerate this. That it is not about me. I ran into him again this morning. He looked better. Stronger. More upbeat. A little bit. Again, he accepted and gave love. A qualitative shift from a few weeks ago. From before. Softer. But more spunk today. Nothing adversarial in him. I am trying hard to not get ahead of myself. I am hoping each one of you is well. I think of you a lot. [/QUOTE]
