No, he didn't call me, but I did call my ex who lives in another state, asked if he had heard from the Lost Angel, and he says he's talked to him a couple times this past week. Of course, LA also told his dad that he's talked to ME a couple of times as well, which he has not..and ya know what??? I told my ex - I'M FINE WITH HIM NOT CALLING ME :-)))

Told him to keep me informed if something bad happens to him, he said he does have connections here that are watching out for anything bad and they will let him know, and he will let me know. That's all I need for my peace of mind for now, and my son and I are in the best relationship we've been in for quite some time, if you get my drift...and I'm ok right now, mostly in thanks to all the reading, encouragement, and support from this group that I've only been a part of for a few days!! Amen!

I went 7 and a half months without talking to my daughter and we both survived. There was a time when I thought I would die if I did not talk to her everyday But the time apart helped me to set some really good boundaries. Now when I don't hear from her for a long period of time I no longer worry about her. She has her journey and I have mine. Sounds like you are ahead of the game. It took me quite a while to come to a point when I figured no news was good news. This forum is a Godsend. Hugs, Marle

Doing a fine job of letting go/detachment ! Because really you have no choice.
To accept what is allows us to have some mental peace.
Thank you for sharing and demonstrating this to us.

I haven't seen or heard from my son in over 3 years and I get through my days by saying a prayer for him each morning and giving him to God's care.

I've been to hell and back over the years and through the grace of God, this program and the wonderful people at SR, I found a better way to live my life, happy, healthy and at peace...just as God intended.

My prayers go out for your son; I pray every day for our addicts who struggle and my heart is comforted knowing that we are all God's children, including His addicted ones and are each loved by Him.

You'll be fine, so will your son.

LauraK,
Glad to hear you're doing so well.
(I somehow seem to do better when my sons don't call either....)

IMO, detaching is a hard thing to do, but when we finally do, do it...gosh it feels so goood.....

Your sons in good hands...someone is watching out for him...


Hugs,
