Instead of just casually bringing it up to Jason, I wish I would have dragged him there.
He was struggling more than either my husband or I knew. He was sick and needed treatment desperately.
I feel so guilty, I don't know how my husband just pushes it out if his mind.
Who knows If I got him into the right treatment he may still be with us.
There is great power in a mother's instinct, no matter how old our child is!
I also believe you can never tell your child that you love them too much.

I'm not gonna go into this that much but the standard tx for addicts fails majority of the time. I was VERY hurt by it and the ppl in it in more ways than one. Anyway I wish more ppl knew about the alternatives. Like lifering, women for sobriety, sos, rational recovery, smart recovery. Those are some healthy non shaming paths to recovery.
I'm so sorry for ur loss. I cannot begin to imagine.
