My son seems to be the same personality wise as he was before active addiction. He hopefully is wiser. I don't know about honesty yet--whether or not he can be totally trustworthy and honest. Time will tell. I just know I will be wary for some time but I wont go looking for trouble. I want him to live his life without my taking a front row seat to it. He doesn't live at home now so that helps me be able to detach.
