Thanks all,
Good point Pat.
TC I appreciate your support given what you're going through.
I'm not sure why he told me! He is certainly not getting any money from us regarding cocaine...that's for darn sure.
I suspect that he's going to ask if he can stay living with us until........ I just don't know what the until will be.
I think my main 'stand' is going to be to ask him, 'ok so what do you plan to do in your life now? I'm not interested in being involved unless you're going forward in your life.' or something.
I don't know. I guess any suggestions are welcome. Because last year, he had planned to go to rehab & was living here & then didn't go, my husband doesn't want him to live here even if he IS going forward with plans for rehab. Last year, I don't think it was my son's 'idea' about rehab....I think we 'fed' him the idea. I'm not going to do that this time. He has to be the one to come up with it, although, I must admit, I did leave a book on the hall table where he'll see it - it's called "Step Zero" (as in Twelve Step Groups).
I feel like I am just being slapped & slapped & slapped again by life. Or actually it feels more like being either punched in the stomach or kicked while I'm on the ground.
Thank you all for being my supports.
xoxo to you all, luv, Kath
