Bump and Lou, its wonderful that your boys have got so far with this, but I know from my own experiences that dealing with the mood swings and anger afterwards is very hard. I used to expect my son to be really remorseful but he was just caught up in his head and coping one day to the next without drugs to numb his feelings. In some ways its harder because you no longer feel that you have the right to complain. I hope things do calm down and they both keep going forward.
My son is using but coming out of his room more and cooking a little bit again, which is a good sign. He talks about strategies for getting clean, but still has to go through the hell of heroin withdrawal which hopefully he will face again soon. I’ve started looking at rehab as an option but he, as always, believes he can do it by himself.
I hope everyone has a drama free and peaceful weekend.
