[QUOTE="Wakegirl, post: 580696, member: 15912"] Tired12, his only real choice (and yours too) is to kick him out of your house. Now. I'm learning this as we speak. Mine has been kicked out...and I'm getting texts from him now saying that he had a relapse, and that he's learned his lesson...blah, blah, blah. I don't believe it. He's burned too many bridges, and his words mean nothing to me. I need to see proof, such as commitment to treatment!! He's 20 years old, and I've been going through this with him for 5 years. I'm tired of the drugs, lies, excuses, laziness, and lack of any type of responsibility. I've had him arrested, put him in counseling...and he STILL doesn't get it. SO, until he's ready for treatment, my house is NOT his house. I highly recommend that you do the same. It's hard. So very hard. But enabling our difficult child's will only make matters worse. Life is not going to get any better, for you or for him. STAND YOUR GROUND, but let him know the offer is still there, and that you will back him all of the way, if he wants treatment. P.S. My son just up and quite going to classes his freshman year of college, as well. If he wants any type of college education, he will have to get a student loan and pay for one year at a local community college in town. Once we see that he is done with drugs, and is excelling in school, we will gladly help send him back to the college of his dreams. But for now, it's a waste of money. [/QUOTE]
