oh gosh. things look up, then they crash back down. such is my reality!

my boyfriend checked himself into rehab today, his parents pushing him all the way. does he have issues? hell yeah. does he have a substance abuse problem? debatable, although personally i don't see it that way. it will probably be good for him but it pisses me off ROYALLY because i know the only reason they pushed him in there was because it was easy for them. they don't need to help him out in any way, drive him to appointments, deal with his issues.. they can just send him off for a month and hope he's good when he comes home.

and no, i'm not being judgemental. i know these people very well, and they never stick their neck out for anybody, not even their son. it is 100% what's convenient for THEM. constantly in his ear telling him his anxiety is all his fault and he should be able to pull himself together and stop embarrassing himself and his family.

ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous. i'm livid right now, especially since i'm apparently not allowed to see or contact him because his parents -get this- think that I am the reason he's messed up. NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT HE WAS DAMAGED WHEN WE MET AND THEY'RE LOUSY PARENTING RUINED HIM.

ohhhh god i want to punch things :( ativan not helping tonight folks, it's gonna be a long one. luckily my boss is away on business and i have the day off tomorrow..

Hi L.l. I am sorry to hear that you are so upset tonight. I am sure that you are really going to miss your b.f alot:(

I am hoping for both of you that this is one of those situations that though it starts off bad...something really positive comes of it in the end.

Keep posting here with us, and take care of yourself during this time!

I am glad to hear your feeling better today. It does feel to me like your bf has made a good choice in checking himself into rehab although I know it is hard for you. (((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))).

Often people who abuse alcohol or drugs are secretly hoping someone will talk to them honestly about their problem. Addiction is a confusing disease. Contrary to popular myth, people do not have to drink or use drugs every day to be addicted.

Do take care of yourself during this difficult time for you and remember there will be many good times ahead.

Gentle Hugs,

Kitt

Hi Lulu, I hear you. Oh boy, that would have driven me mad too. I know what it may be like having lived with a mother who was only concerned about herself.

I hope you know that you are very good, and your boyfriend is lucky to have you. Sometimes its unimaginable that people still live in the dark ages.

Hugs to you...
