Well many calls...I stood my ground. Feels good.
He has decided to go in to rehab. Bernie has stopped enabling him, which is really great. It took a year, but he stopped now. Guess he had to learn the hard way. And that is ok cause it works better that way at times.
So Spencer is going to have his assessment tonight or tomorrow.
I would guess that he has been using for approx one 1/2 months now, maybe longer. The first time I seen him for one of his visits, I knew right away, stopped the visits and held my ground as much as he lied and denied. He finally called me and came clean about it and wanted to see our son. I said no, and he couldn't understand why not since he told me he was using. He thought if he told me the truth, I would give in to what he wanted. But I know what his real intentions were. They have been the same for quite some time now. He wanted to talk with him on the phone, I said no and explained to him why I am saying No. He says he understands completely. I told him that I will not even mention his name around him or talk about him to our son unless our son asks me questions. And when he asks those questions, I answer with the truth as acceptable according to my son's age.
Please say a prayer for him. If he is serious about this, he can do it. He feels alone and I explained to him that he had to get to that point to realize that he needs help to change and recover. All I can offer is any advice or conversation that is all. He accepted.
I feel much stronger now, more than ever. I can't say it doesn't hurt me, but it feels different. I look at him now as a man that has a serious illness that only he can change. I got a word from God and was told with all this knowledge I have, I need to use it to help others. Hula confirmed that word. I listen to God's word. Spencer has lost everyone in his life, no one believes in him and that is his own fault and I told him he had to earn that support back if he is serious about getting better.
