[QUOTE="Between2trees, post: 564433, member: 15585"] I feel your pain. There is not an easy answer. December 2011 our difficult child was arrested for drunk driving. We declined to bail him out - his friends who needed him out because he was their supplier posted bond. We did not let him back in our home. An ex- girlfriend gave him the key to her parents house while they were away for Christmas - he decided to have a party - the cops were called - he was charged with larceny from a building cuz he drank a fifth of her Dads booze. All this to say that my husband couldn't take having him on the streets so he is back home , still using, still stealing from us and in even more legal trouble. The only bright spot in all this is that he started University this fall and is actually doing well. I am holding my breath for 3 more weeks - once the semester is finished we are insisting on rehab - it may need to be court ordered. If not he is going to have to leave as I am sick of being held hostage in my own home. Someone mentioned being happy for Monday morning so they could go to work - Amen! I started back full time last April to get away from the madness for a few hours! I hate the thought of my son being out on the streets but I don't know what else is going to get his attention and he refuses to respect our rules and wishes. [/QUOTE]
