[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 563827"] Welcome... I certainly dont have any answers. I am not sure what I would do in the same situation to tell the truth. In fact it sounds like you are doing all the right things. I think it will be hard to keep track of or control who he is friends wit and sees and I think you might end up having to let that go. I think not letting him use the car is good. I think insisting he stay sober if he lives in your house is good. I suspect in your shoes as long as my son was being reasonable and respectful I would let him live with us and provide the food... although at some point I might insist on him paying something for room and board (mostly to get him to get a job). Its a quandry because you really cant make him get motivated or get a job he does have to find that himself. I think finding a good alanon support group for parents would be a good idea... I have found it helps immensely. TL [/QUOTE]
