[QUOTE="missy44, post: 257081, member: 6201"] Hi all, Well, things around here have changed and not for the better right now. My husband and I had plans to meet our difficult child at 4:00pm today after work to discuss the stipulations and rules he would need to follow to be allowed to stay in our home (this is new, he has definitely been kicked out of where he was and is now homeless). He showed up at 7:30am at our door, homeless, crying and beligerent. I"m waiting for a friend of mine to come over and talk with him, my friend is a drug abuse counsellor. My son just keeps telling me he doesn't have a problem, he's fine, he's just trying to get his **** together. No job, no college, homeless, extreme weight loss, i wouldn't say that he is fine! Ive called all the drug detox and rehab places in our city, nothing until at least mid April (so much for the emergency line), and quite honestly, our son doesn't think he has a problem. One of the counsellors I spoke with ths morning said "don't turn him away, he'll end up hanging with a bunch of users". I let him come in to sleep this am (got my kids off to school and called work to say i wouldn't be in) and we are still supposed to go out and talk this evening. He somehow needs to get his stuff from the place he's been kicked out of. I made him unpack his back before he was allowed to sleep downstairs, many empty baggies (he said they are called gram baggies for pot), an empty mickie and that's about it. I am struggling to get through today. I don't know if I can throw him out on the streets if he doesn't agree to our groundrules, I guess I can talk the talk, but i don't know if I can walk the walk. I need some sleep desperately, when I found out he was even thinking about asking to move home I have been so stressed and anxious that sleep hasn't been possible. Any thoughts at all. I know that so far I've failed miserably. I just wasn't expecting my child to show up on my doorstep so desperate.. I'll be checking in frequently. Thanks, Michelle [/QUOTE]
