[QUOTE="pprguy, post: 564322, member: 15018"] What a great forum-thank you so much for responses. Been away as a family over thanksgiving. It's still a stalemate but his head is clear and no hint of abuse. Only one response encouraged us to kick him out and in reading seems that post is the only one that has no difficult child-not real close maybe to real issues. He has lived on his own several times. Driving 5 hours to meet him in the emergency room where he has to recover a week in the hospital sure keeps a parent from giving him the boot real quick. We have participated with him in his search for recovery. We believe recovery is possible Just some notes. -AA and alanon for us are great programs. He has tried sponsors-he needs a sponsor-just not serious enough about his recovery. right now he is sporadically attending Celebrate Recovery-with us providing transportation and attending. -His last rehab took him off all medications-for 4 weeks home the most he has had is advil. The severe depression needs to be treated somehow-no more psychiatrists though. We may try a family doctor. Any medication will be in our control and we will watch him swallow it? -The advice of him getting a job and paying rent or just giving us his paycheck as long as he is living here is the great-just got to get him out the door to a job. When he is capable of staying sober all money is his! -His last rehab went real well and he could return to work for them basically for room and board. He dreams real big and wants desperately to accomplish something-but can't put it into action. Sorry to ramble. Again thanks for anyone who reads this-and God bless you with your challenges. -AA (and alanon for us)-he has done 100 days 100 meetings while in sober living and required to attend. Never had a long term sponsor-has tried but they required things of him he "could not do".-He needs AA or Celebrate Recovery but he will not have transportation in a vehicle with our name on it. He needs a sponsor-when he will listen to his sponsor he may be ready. -There is no doubt he is severely depressed and we may look at some medication-right now he is on none-the last rehab took him off everything-everything! For 4 weeks he has had nothing stronger than Advil. - - - - [/QUOTE]
