[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 705073, member: 15801"] Hi Copa. I am thinking of you too! I am sorry your son did not come home. It is hard having my son home, but it would be harder if I didn't know where he was or if he was safe. I had a nice evening tonight. My son did not join us but I did have fun with our friends. We were honest about the situation and so could talk about it a bit (but did not spend lots of time on it). I am pleased with myself that I did not let my son ruin our evening, I dont think my son was punishing us. I have come to realized that he has a lot of anxiety. I think he has some social anxiety that I didn't recognize when he was young because he acted out then rather than withdrew. I do think he was selfish and self centered but then that is not really a surprise. I did talk to him some today and I think he in his own way is trying to find his way to move on from the issues he has with this woman. I do think he is motivated to get his life together I just dont know if he can do it without more help around his substance use. And yeah I think sometimes the best growth does come when they do it themselves without help from us. It is hard to know. [/QUOTE]
