[QUOTE="amstrong, post: 73959, member: 3266"] Thanks everyone for your replies. husband has processed everything and we have re-connected. I know I sounded like an ungrateful wretch over the birthday thing and I am grateful that he even remembered. husband went today with me to see difficult child. It went well. difficult child's therapist (he gave them permission to speak to me-after all he is an adult-ha!)tells me that he does not want after care or AA. It remains to be seen what will happen on that end. He tells me he does not like her and I have to agree with him on that-she is not a likeable person. His insurance through husband's job runs out the end of the month and I do not think aftercare will be covered anyway. difficult child's probation officer has made him aware of counseling that is available on Saturdays that is charged on a sliding scale and I told him he will need to be thinking STRONGLY about this. husband and I are meeting with the therapist and difficult child on Tuesday to lay out on the line what is expected of him and what will NOT be tolerated if he is to live in our home. If he agrees to these things, he may come home to live when he is released if not, he is on his own. If he agrees to them and then renigs on the agreement, he will be be out for good. I think he already knows this but we will make certain that he does. He expressed concern regarding how much of this the insurance was not going to cover. husband told him that this was not to concern him at this time but that he'd better make sure is was not money wasted. difficult child said it wouldn't be wasted and said that after his existing debt to us is paid, he wants to continue to pay us for a time to repay us. he has paid like closkwork on the existing debt. husband told him that they would discuss that another time, that the main thing right now is for difficult child to focus on himself and his issues. I did find an Alanon meeting a few blocks from work that meets during luch hours-I went Friday. There are two in the neighboring community and I plan to check them out and husband said he would consider going at least once. We are making progress. I know, from the experience with DEX, that this could go either way and that I have to focus on me. Please continue to send your prayers and good vibes. You guys rock! Love ya! [/QUOTE]
