[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 528821"] Thank you all so much for your understanding. This is much an awful roller coaster ride to be on. While I am grateful difficult child has 60+ days of sobriety, he has far to go. Everyone keeps telling me how young he is (like I don't know how old he is....<eyeroll>)...their point being to steady myself for the long haul. I thought he'd go to 28 days and then return here. Live at home a short while, go back to school, get a part-time job. Then, I hear he needs 8 weeks of partial hospitalzation. Okay, I arrange temporary housing and allow him (and the car) to live alone in a city. But, then he will return. Now, I hear sober living facility. I haven't asked how long cause I know there isn't an answer. He won't discuss when he thinks he might return to school. He talks about going to school there. Well, he gets free tuition here...not there. Am I expected to pay for a college degree there when one is free here simply because you cannot be here without drinking? He only has 3 months of work experience. He says he is getting a job. We'll see.. He is going to multiple meetings, for example, two on Monday after being in partial hospitalization until 3pm. It appears he has made a number of friends in the recovery community, some who have 10+ years of sobriety. The last straw yesterday was seeing an old girlfriend of his online. She's barely 18. Arrested for running a meth lab. I've decided substance abuse is...by far...the biggest issue our country is facing. [/QUOTE]
