[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 500889, member: 1967"] Well, that didn't take long. It usually doesn't. Life has a way of biting difficult child's in the butt. Yes, I know that smirk well. It just makes you want to backhand him across the face, doesn't it? Not that you should . . . I disagree with letting him come back at all. in my humble opinion, he needs treatment and you have an opportunity here. I would tell him that you and husband will only support him if he is rehab or a halfway house that has a treatment program. Since he has no where else to go, he might actually agree to it. He could always take some college classes while he is living there. I know he will tell you that he doesn't need it but sometimes getting into a program can open their eyes. It worked from my difficult child. She went in saying she didn't have a problem and came out saying that she was an addict. I hate to be pessimistic but I don't think he is at the point that he will follow any of your rules if you let him live there. He will only make all of your lives miserable. been there done that {{{{Hugs}}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
