While I was at rehab and a residential treatment center, my son's Aunt on his father's side, took on the responsibility of raising me son for two years. He's 17 now. His aunt was angry with me for asking the judge if I could have an extra video call with my son a week. She sent me paragraphs on top of paragraphs discussing how I was wrong for not asking me son first if he wanted to talk to me. My son told me it was fine. Now two days ago my son said the exact same thing that she said in her text messages to me over video chat. I was so hurt. Even writing this right now I'm still in a great deal of pain because of what my son said to me. That I was wrong for not discussing it with him first and even after I apologized and told him I'd try to not let that happen again he wouldn't stop berating me. My best is now broken into a million pieces. I'm hurting really bad. I could use some advice on coping with this sadness and on what to do. I welcome all opinions thank you

No opinions or advice except stay on the sobriety train and keep proving yourself. It sounds like your son is being fed some bs but he'll be an adult soon and hopefully a mind of his own. Much love and hope to you hang in there

I have walked in your shoes. It’s always painful to loose someone you love. I truly understand. I have not talked to my 2 daughters in 5 years, although I’ve tried. Remember: you are not alone. Wishing you happiness

Time heals all wounds…. When you start to recover and get better, physically emotionally and spiritually, they get better too. We have to give them time.
