somewhere, inside, i believe that your son is in there. he has to go through whatever he is going through. does your son ever think of you? of course. guilt of knowing there is another way, and shame that he keeps making the same mistakes over and over again keep him focused on his own pain. when the pain is great enough, he will change. it is one thing to be supportive, another to be an enabler. the most impoertant thing, RIGHT NOW, is take good care of yourself. really good care. of you. for your own sanity. health. future.
because, should he come crawling back, he needs to see with his own eyes, you have not been taken hostage by his addiction. you are strong. rock solid. stable. untouched. able. ready and still sane enough to help find a treatment center.
but life goes on. he needs to see that. life goes on. really. people make choices, they pay bills, they go grocery shopping, clean the yard, walk the dog. life is still stable without drugs. you want a little piece of normal, son? quit using.
Happy Mother's Day to both of you. they were your babies, but they are grown. making their own choices. pray your way through. stand strong. let your heart be still. whatever is going to happen is not in your hands.
