I am more than thrilled that Michaels release went smoothly. He said its an adjustment to sights sounds smells. He said in some instances he feels,like its,been forever and other times he feels like he was nevet gone. I am trying to give him space. I find myself getting frustrated at times. Lord keep your arms around my shoulders and your hand across my mouth. Its just little things that remind me of the old him. Right now sitting outside Parole office for his first check in with them. Then off to evaluation for Iop. Then off to get new ID. Saturday he went to a mtg. Got himself there and back on public transp. Sunday we went to church and that was good. He has taken out trash, liaded dishwasher, unloaded etc.. i had hoped he would have quit smoking. I hate it. So he is outside alot. I do not want to harp on him, but pray he gives it up. Its gross and expensive. I thought we would spend a little more time talking, but he keeps to himself listening to music. Just hoping he doesnt fall back into old habits. Moms,please keep sharing any advice on yours sons returning home and what might have helped. Thanks.
