Taking the phone off the hook was one of my first boundaries - I did it so I could sleep at night...without getting a "come get me" or "come get her out of jail" or "she is in the hospital" calls that I so dreaded. It helped. I slept. That was enough, back then.
Me too. I had to reach a point where just turning off the phone at night wouldn't feel like a betrayal. It was hard, but I did it eventually. I think you will too. My son was addicted to heroin for 5 long years. I think I aged 15 years in that 5 year period. lol Never give up the hope that he will get there.
God willing and by his own strength and perseverance, he will get there.
You stay strong, mom. Believe it or not, this is helping him. I always thought my Jason had the thickest skull of any kid around. Nothing would get through to him. I was wrong. It did get through, but it had to get there on it's own. Not by me.
I'm praying for you both, Katie.
