deep breath and wait

well the boys girl friend says he's "better". by that she means he's not drinking so much, stays home and isn't doing drugs..yet. he's stressing over paying for too much house and too many toys! my advice was to severly trim his sails while in the early stages of recovery but what the heck do parents know? so now it's sit it out and wait for the crash.

You know, Dragon. A friend once said to me many years ago, that some people you can't help until they hit rock bottom. I wanted to know how you know when they hit rock bottom, and was told you are on the very bottom when you look up and all you can see over your head is the bottom of whale shit.

So until he hits a bottom that low, then all you can do is stand by with a net.

I have been in your shoes and they are not comfortable. In fact they hurt like hell. Wish I could think of a way to get you some that fit better, but I think that might be up to him.

Bless you and good luck, db

hum... I'm sure your holding your breath. I would be too. You want so much for that moment you just know by your gut that your adult child is going to really make it ..this time.
my heart is with you and I hope this is his bottom but who really knows?

Hugs, Starrybright

At least the girlfriend is calling you and giving you updates ... you can put in your two cents worth through her ... he'll probably take it from her better than from you ... good luck.
