[QUOTE="klmno, post: 279054, member: 3699"] The advice given is good advice, AOG. No offense to your son, but as someone who had to go thru He** and back to get into a good rehab with an excellent therapist, I'd rather see him not go and take the open spot if he isn't really trying to get help. At least he is honest in that sense and not just going to passify the judge. I'd reinforce that, I guess, so that maybe someday if he says he wants help, maybe he will really mean it. And, I really think that keeps people from being so codependent if they can just say "ok- if you change your mind, I will help you get help", then detach. Your reference to his father doing that kind of stuff- well maybe that's why your son is saying he doesn't want to go. Detach and let him do things his way- it's his only chance of realizing for himself that it won't make him happy in the long run. ((HUGS)) I know it's tough for you. [/QUOTE]
