Dear Hope
I have thought about you a lot recently and I was shocked when i just looked for your thread and saw you had had no reply since your post on November.
I would love an update as if know things were moving slowly for you and your son was not co-operating with trying to control his addiction. I know you said that your son had told you that your relationship was irreparable but this was just his addiction talking – until honesty comes with control of the addiction I don’t think you should ever place much thought, if any, on such words.
I think it was following this post that you came into a group but I haven’t seen you since. I want you to know you are not forgotten and you are missed.
A person who has been through GMA learns how to use his tools but of course sometimes it takes time for those tools to be picked up and it is often easier to leave them lying in the back of the mind in the belief that they can be used when necessary. Necessity can often come only when everything is stacked against the CG however hard it is for those who love them.
I hope to hear from you soon
Velvet
