[QUOTE="pprguy, post: 564624, member: 15018"] My difficult child is 24 and home again. 18 and still at home-could be pretty frustrating for you because I would bet it will only get worse. If you have insurance get him to an out patient program or even better in patient. Don't waste anytime. Has he graduated from HS? My difficult child is our youngest of 3. he is a true addict with real issues that we have to set very hard boundaries with while he is in our house. No car, phone is blocked. Even at 24 in our house he has severe limits on his social life. He has lived on his own in the past-and it has not been pretty. He can leave at any time-without his truck which is in my both of our names. If he was 18 and I knew what I know now I would have shut him down at 18 and hard. Take everything away until he agrees to your rules and shows it. I know we cannot control an addict-but it's our rules or the highway and he knows it now-just took to long to get here. [/QUOTE]
