[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 680068, member: 20051"] The problem is that the waters are all muddied with drug and alcohol addiction. SWOT is right, the anxiety/depression cannot even be addressed while he is an active addict. There is no way to tell here which is the chicken and which is the egg. Is her depressed/anxious because he is using, or is he using because he is depressed/anxious? I agree with SWOT. I think that he is using the anxiety/depression to make RN feel sorry for him and play on her sympathy so she won't evict him. "It's not my fault I do this, I'm sick, I can't help it." Personally, stealing my car and vandalizing my garage door would be the end of my rope. I would have told him to go or I would call the police and press charges. I think rehab and sober living is the way to go, but you have to stick to your guns. Your son has proven that he can function. He can have a job, and he can succeed in school. The using while having a job isn't, I don't think indicative of anxiety, I think it is more typical of a substance abuse money is a HUGE trigger. Sober living will teach him how to live and work in the community while maintaining his sobriety. [/QUOTE]
