The insurance said 6 weeks of Rehab was enough. I cried all day Tuesday. I was just there the weekend before to see him and he was still trying to manipulate me.

Now he is in Dallas, so be kind to him big city. He was raised in the country and has never lived in as big of a city.

He is happy to be where he is and I know a whole lot scared! And so is his Mom. But we will be fine.

Have a great day everyone!

will keep him in my thoughts...........my AH is now in a transition house too and he seems to find it helpful. He told me yesterday that every day he has more faith in himself and feels good about going from alot of structure to less..........gives him a chance to feel good about himself.

Take care of you!

Ann

It sounds like he is continuing to try and keep his sobreity.

How about you? How are you doing through all this?

We're all walking with you here.

Hi Lou Ann, Welcome...this is a great place with wonderful people. A recovery house sounds like his higher power has him right where he needs to be. I hope you can take this time to read around here, share and maybe try some Alanon or Nranon meetings. I've found all those thigns so helpful! Hugs

Thanks to everyone for reading and replying. It is always helpful to know you are not alone, especiall when someone in your next town replies!! I know that Tim is where God wants him to be and all of this has happened for a reason. I am learning to set boundries and I know that he has to do it ALL on his own. And he will!
Have a great weekend everyone and thanks again for caring enough!!!!!

The horror story of the day is that the X called this morning after not hearing from him in 7 weeks to see where Tim is becuase the X's mother is hounding him in e-mail about where Tim is. No one has told her what is going on. It's not my place and she wouldnt believe us anyway. Tim wants nothing to do with either of them. For that I am grateful.

I have not attended alanon, but i hear that it is wonderful and a few parents have recommended it to me. Sometimes I still feel manipulated. If faithhopelovejr knows of anything around Orange County.....give me a shout!
Thanks again everyone........i am learning my way around and I love this site!!!!! Thanks Susan

From the little I know, the grandmother and father should NOT know where he is! They will do more harm than good. Glad you like the site, it has held me up when I didn't think anything could!

How is he doing???

laketime

welcome, my as is also in an oxford house(recovery home) as hard as it is for dads and moms, ive come to the conclusion that its really the only safe place for him right now. it certainly hasnt worked for us for him to be home. i don't have much contact with him except for when he needs money, he wont get a check for another week. maybe yours and mine will learn what independence is and build on their self esteem.
