Topic: RE: What is your opinion??
What kind of plan does your SON have in mind for his post-rehab situation? I'm pretty sure the stress of having family-in-law that don't want you there would not be altogether healthy for his fledgling sobriety. I'm unable to tell from your post if he needs to stay with you, if you want him to, or if you feel some sense of obligation to take him in. In any event, part of rehab is learning to cope with REALITY, whatever it might be, so whatever your situation is, he needs to know it sooner rather than later to be able to discuss it with his counselors and his discharge planning team. If the problem is the in-laws lacking of understanding, then perhaps it being Easter-time and all, they need to be reminded of the beauty of forgiveness and tolerance and deep love. Unless, of course, Easter for them is about pretty dresses and lace and chocolate eggs and linen napkins and not about family, no matter how fragile, broken, wounded, or otherwise human they might be. Wow, I'm in a preachy mood tonight. Hope I didn't offend you. I'm here to support whatever decision you take with this. Hugs, Susan

Jeannie, He is still your son, no matter what. Why don't your in-laws want him around? Has he done something to them or is he trouble when comes around? Everyone deserves a 2nd chance, and sometimes more time to get themselves straigthened out. I don't quite understand the problem you are having. Explain further please. Hettie

Topic: What is your opinion??
My son is in a drug/rehab unit. Probably getting out right before Easter. And, the inlaws are not wanting him around. Help...am I being selfish...not understanding?? The inlaws would be step inlaws... Maybe I should wait before I expose them to him...I mean they are perfect ya know. I am not a happy camper. Although I can understand where they are coming from...or am i just being too nice. Uggggggg. Jeannie

Hey there Melissa, How ya doing??? I ate ok today. Not done yet, but I have no clue what supper will be. B-skipped L-half a salad w/rigatoni..maybe 5 bites, mostly cheese, pepperoni, itlaian sausage, mushrooms. Yummy! I only ate this as my husband is a huge Italian lover,so I thought I would try it and then duplicate it for him, as freezer meals. tata for now Brenda

Topic: RE: SIZE 6!!!!!!!!
Stephanie, glad to see you post. This is a great bunch of people. It feels wonderful being thin, huh??? Well, a funny thing happened.the size 6 pair of pant's that I bought are to big!!!!!! I actually am taking them back for a size 4..I lost 5 lbs over the last 4 days and boom, made the pant's so baggy....So I now weigh like 130...I truly will tell my body, I am done if I go down to a true 4. Hopefully the body will listen to me. I have heard it say many times, that our body will stop loosing weight when it get's to "It's comfort zone" before obesity I was 110 lbs for yrs. It was just where my body was comfortable at. Goodness knows I ate a ton back then. But after childbirth and hormones kicking in, I slowely put the weight on...so who knows when it will stop. Anyway, go to Pictures on this site, or photo help, and they will help you do all that, with getting your picture up on this site. Let me know if I can help further. Hugs, Brenda
