[QUOTE="missy44, post: 257290, member: 6201"] Thanks everyone, it's been a long day. Here is the update, I'll try to keep it short as I'm exhausted. After some battling that wasn't going anywhere i decided I couldn't throw him out on the street and let him in to sleep in the basement this morning. He looks terrible, thin, grey, etc... and is very teary eyed. As soon as he emptied all his pockets, he crawled into bed and I got on the phone. I called a friend of ours who owns a group home for kids on drugs and he said "i'll be there at noon to take your son out for lunch". I woke my son up at 11:30am and said get dressed, bob's coming. They went for lunch, they talked, he agreed to counselling (drug and a psychiatrist) to begin this week. He brought him back, we all talked about a short term stay in our home until my son gets his **** together. Bob (our friend) said he suspects "big" time depression and the drugs are a bandaid, he doesn't suspect a big "hard core" drug problem, but did say you can never be sure. My son has not had a job, has not been eating, and has been partying nonstop, so in reality that could be the cause of the weightloss (i hate not knowing). Tomorrow my friend is picking up my son at 9am, taking him to the social services office, checking into welfare and is going to try to find him some room and board (this may take a few weeks). In the meantime we have set up the rules, no using, no drugs, counselling and respect while he is here. I'm still worried to death, don't know what is really going on, but for today I'll take what I'm given. Tonight he has gone for 2 hours to his friends house around the corner (1st he played some road hockey and actually at a meal with us). It doesn't appear that he detoxing or anything, but I just don't know. That's all for now, I'll check in tomorrow. Thanks again, MIchelle [/QUOTE]
