Today I am leaving long term drug treatment,. I have been there 8 months with my 2 year old son. I've never completed anything in life and I'm proud of myself that is until my mom rained on my parade. I don't get the keys to my apartment until Monday and I asked my mother to pick us up, she replyed I'm going out with Shane. She is a partier and likes to get drunk(it's Friday).So I got upset stating that I can't believe getting high is more important than your daughter and grandson. It really hurt me. So then I call her mother because i was upset and needed to talk and my Mom got really mad over that. So now she is picking me up at 6pm but I think she was totally wrong. Oh yeah lets not forget to mention she said she thinks I think the world revolves around me and that she is never gonna forget all I have put her through in the past. Why wont she be proud of me?

doesnt sound like a healthy enviroment to be going to after leaving treatment..if she is still in ''the life'' she may not show shes proud of you because shes still there and may feel a part of what went wrong if she had that open party lifestyle around you..i would tell the people there about this and try to stay til monday if you can or find another place to take your son..people,places,&things are important to maintain recovery..goodluck to u and congrats for completing treatment..u have 8 mos of peace nothings worth losing it !!..NOTHING.

hello,
well first of all you must understand that your mom's life will be upset by you and your son coming to her home. even if it is just for a couple of days. what if something happens, and you must remain longer than anticipated? second your mother does not have to be proud of you. it would be nice, but she from what you indicated in your post is an addict too. ask yourself who are you that she must be proud of you? she has not and will not forgive you for your addiction until she is ready. you coming out of treatment has nothing to do with her having to forgive you honey, this will take some time. i would suggest that you do what is best for you and your son. beware of the people, places, and things you go around. this includes your family

Yeah your right, both of you. It would just be nice to have a suppotive family. I need to realize it isn't gonna happen and be independent. She just wasnt Always like that and I thought she might change. Guess it has to be on her own time not mine. I should know. just don't want to see her have to go through what I did.

SWEETIE I KNOW it hurt you but i am sure you can remember when you flipped her off while you were active. she is hurt and angry and does not have to be proud of you. she can be blaming herself for you addiction. i know my mom did for a long time. as long as you are proud of yourself and all that is all that should matter. please be really careful going around all people places and things. i almost had to go back to an active addition place when i got out of treatment and i refused to go and they let me stay a few extra days. i really wish you luck and it does sound like you think the world revolves around you to me. but just my opinion. i know i was like that when i first got sober. lol. took me a long time to realize i am not that important.....
