[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760477, member: 15032"] Helpless They try to make us think they are doing well even when they aren't. It's kind of crazy really because we know things are still messed up. Until he stops the drug use he will not get better. Naturally we WANT to see that. Again, he is still very young and agree they don't think that their actions are harming anyone including themselves. They probably don't even think about it much at all. They are very self centered at this age and to be honest, I think guys in their entire 20's are also. We have 3 sons and I can say that for a fact for our family anyway. You have no choice but to let him do what he's going to do. Nothing you do can control his actions. Stay strong and maintain firm boundaries. It will help him and you if you do this. My son begged to come home after 8 months in his 13 month program. I was adamant not to let him until he completed it and then I was even skeptical. Our story is one of many but my strength helped him to stay on track. If I had let him come home when he originally wanted to, I know it would not have ended well. Even after the 13 months we had a few issues but he was able to quickly redirect because of his training. Glad you are moving also. You need to live your life. He will do as he will do. Take car and thanks for the update. [/QUOTE]
