[QUOTE="dadside, post: 256764, member: 5707"] I think you have the right idea, and certainly that there have to be changes evident before he can return to your home. I also know this response misses some of the history Occupational Therapist (OT) the story, but ... Consider that put together you insist that he has to agree to treatment and get a job (both things) before he can move home. Realistically, can he get a job "now"? I think being in treatment, not just agreeing to it, might be the standard. Also, that he is living somewhere, doesn't that mean he already is arranging his own housing? What standard(s) will you use to decide whether or not he has proven "that he is trying to get his life on the right track", thus fulfilling another criteria to move home? And why wouldn't starting treatment for addiction prove he is trying?? I'm not trying to get picky here, but think and criteria you lay out need to be clear, complete and realistic. I assume there are already "house rules" for when he does return, again, to prevent surprises and shifting standards. Maybe this could all be a part of your discussion with him. [/QUOTE]
