[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 695770, member: 15032"] Colleen: I feel your pain like the other moms here. My son will be 21 the end of August. I really thought he'd be the shining start out of our three boys. He just has something they don't have. Oh yes and the addiction. He has that that they do not have also. I am trying to encourage my son to get a job in a restaurant again which he seems to think is beneath him (waiting on other people). I told him it's a job and not a career and good for his recovery (if he's even doing that). Then he texted me at bedtime last night that he really does want a job. All he and his girlfriend do is sit at the beach. Oh well that's tough. I was up all night trying to think of what to say back - as if it really matters. Stay strong and hope that you have some good news someday soon. I hope that I do too. His dad keeps telling him to "make us proud". I don't know when or if that will be. [/QUOTE]
