[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 419193"] My strong suspicion is that the mom has no idea of the real story, which is one reason why difficult child and girlfriend do not want me contacting her. I can't imagine a parent putting her daughter in the situation she is now going to be in, taking in a drug addict who has just left a sober house and has relapsed, a guy who will probably be emotionally abusive and who has major issues. I can understand wanting to help out a poor friend, whose parents are not there for him and who just sent him out of state because they don't really love them or some such story. In fact when I was in HS my best friend was a guy with lots of problems. He never officially lived with us but he practically did for a few months... my parents loved him as did I. He truly came from a very troubled home and had problems but my parents and I saw a lot of good in him. So I can understand parents doing this.... but in my difficult child situation I think the gas mom does not have all the info. So I am going to work hard on detachment.... and accept the fact that I probably won't hear from him until he is in real trouble and needs something. Then we will have to decide how much we are willing to do. I think we need to let him get to the point of real desperation for help and I don't think he is going to get there for awhile. [/QUOTE]
