Is the Worm Turning?
Last night we got a call from OSS20 who is in a 3/4 house for alcohol and drug rehab.
DH was outside so I took the phone out to him and came back 15 mins later to see if he wanted me to take the phone inside.
He was finishing his call to OSS and hadned the phone to me. OSS wanted to chat! I nearly fell up the stairs! He and I used to be quite friendly. He would come home from Middle School and we would make sarcastic remarks about the advertising. FUN!
But then he fell in with the wrong crowd and enabled by his mother (Queeen of Denial... If my son says he isn't, then he isn't.")he continued on a slow downward spiral and turned into a first class sh1t. A lying piece of crap who was still being covered for by his mother
However he talked to me for about 20 mins and actually initiated conversation. I don't know. He sounds 100% better than the last time we talked. He is intent of seeing the programme through to the end and actually has goals now like marriage, family, own his own business, own a car, travel. But still ... that seed of doubt is still there. It will take me a while to get back to the stage to trust him to house sit but I think (and pray) he has seen the light and where his life COULD be right now.
Still, 8 of the jury (in my mind) are undecided.

Look at my blog - my drug
Look at my blog - my drug addict/bi polar SS 21 is moving back into state. We used to be very close as well but he lied and used me for money. Of course the same load of crap - going back to school, want his own apt and car - but of course no thought on how all this will be paid.
We have been down this road before and he betrayed us - again and again.
I will have not contact with him until he proves himself - GET A JOB AND PAY FOR YOURSELF. He is still a BIG mooch.
Don't trust him, don't give him money, don't listen to his crap. It is about action - I will not listen to what my SS21 says he will do - it is just a form of manipulation so that we think he finally got. My SS21 was a master of telling people what they wanted to hear.
He will not step foot in my house. I want to see some results - like keeping a job for a year.
PLEASE DON'T TRUST HIM.
