Son graduated from Rehab yesterday. I've had very minimal contact with him during this time b/c I was pissed when he checked out of the last rehab early. I was determined to give nothing money, time, energy, effort, advice, permission, feedback, even a conversation (which may seem harsh) as I really felt used, mistreated, taken for granted, and wanted some cooling down time.

I know he has miles, and miles, to go and that every day he will have to make a conscious decision, but I'm proud of him and in some ways of me for standing my ground.

Proud of both of you qwer! This is very good news!

You don't sound harsh qwer, you sound human. If your son continues working on acceptance and sobriety, everything will work out fine. If you continue working on acceptance and serenity, you'll continue walking your road to recovery, too

Congratulations to both of you.

I just love good news and am so happy for you and your son.

That's wonderful. Sometimes we have to really let go for them to make progress. Congratulations!

wonderful news! As a Momma, it is so hard not to want to step in and 'fix it". The hardest part is letting go, but there is joy when we see them take the steps on their own!
