[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 257129"] I think the others have made excellent points. Is he 18? If that is the case, he is still young. This would make me somewhat open to not necessarily letting him move back into your home, but helping him get the help he needs to get healthy. Maybe this means making some calls...making some appointments. Encouraging him to get counseling, see doctors, etc. I wouldn't necessarily get overly invested in this...but would be willing to put in some effort here. I like the list too. You will have to set boundaries. You will have to do some detaching. You might have to get some professional input. I agree as well...do what is best for you and your family. There are younger children in your home. They need protection. Take a look at the article I posted re: that topic. See what you can do to help your difficult child from a distance. At such time he is willing to abide by boundaries and is off of drugs, perhaps serious discussion can be implemented on having him in your home. In addition, make sure you remove all negative thoughts from your state of mind. Surely, you did the best you could and you will continue to do so. This isn't easy for anyone. Focus on positives...it'll keep you stronger. [/QUOTE]
