[QUOTE="Genny, post: 61491, member: 95"] Okay, I'm going to give my two cents here. First of all, you can't force him into rehab. It's voluntary, and he can sign himself out. If he doesn't [i] want[/i] to go to rehab, it's a waste of time and money. At his age - and I speak from experience - you cannot [/b]make[/b] him do anything! Ready or not, he's responsible for the consequences of his own actions. Detach. Secondly, one thing my wise mother in law drilled into our heads through the years of difficult child hell was this: one day your children will be grown and gone and all you'll have left is each other (you and wife). Your marriage should be your #1 priority...don't lose sight of the big picture, and do NOT let McWeedy divide and conquer. My husband and I went to a counselor for several years - specifically to talk about difficult child and how we should/would handle things. It was a tremendous help. difficult child didn't even know about it. Just my random thoughts after reading the thread. Best of luck, Mikey!! Genny [/QUOTE]
