He has been on a downward spiral for about 2 years now. He's a hard worker, talented, handsome and yet cant seem to say no to cocaine. It has caused him nothing but problems. This will be his second rehab stay. The first was only 28 days and he was doing wonderful for months. Now, his probation officer is sending him elsewhere. Maybe I should be thanking her. Maybe this will change his life. It's still tough to let your baby go even if he is 20. I'm saying my prayers every night. For him and for myself to get through this heartache. Please tell me he's gonna be ok. Thanks...
We can't do that PF, but you can take a lot more ownership in your own well-being by coming to terms with the uncertain course of addiction. It's a process, but it can be done by talking with and learning from other embattled moms in the same trench as you.
