[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 743623, member: 15801"] Thank you RN for the reminder. I usually am pretty good about taking care of myself and living my life..... but every now and then I get really caught up in his stuff.... and today was definitely one of those days. You are right he is going to do whatever he is going to do. It is hard for me to step back but that is a good idea.... I will try to do that. And your reminder about not living in the past was really helpful in terms of my daughter....I have to remember we need to keep enjoying our lives now and she is in the process of enjoying her independence and part of that is the whole separating herself from home. I do remember when I was in my early 20s going home and getting so annoyed by my mother....lol. Copa..... the worries our sons put us through. It never ends does it. I just hate this drug addiction stuff but it is what it is. And Smith.... you are so right. I should have stayed out of it... and probably not even called but I did. The good thing in a way is it gave me a chance to let him know I back the programs decisions and also to be clear that I do not support him using any substances or going against things that make me uncomfortable. Heaven knows I have done that enough in the past. No more of that. And I forgot to tell you the piece that really kind of bugged me and really shows how immature my 27 year old kid is..... so one of the things he did to the program out of pure vindictiveness was he sent them on wild goose chase. Not only was he on the phone with me a bunch with me today but he was on the phone with them. He told them he did go on an interview of some sort and needed a ride home.... so they went to pick him up, then he called and told them, he got the wrong address and sent them to a different place.... oh and by the way he never really left his apartment!!! And of course who gets charged for all this running around?? It was his way of saying F you to all of us!! So completely childish!!! TL [/QUOTE]
