[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 634371, member: 1550"] How did he get your car while drunk? Or at all???? Oh, well. I'm all for rehab/sober living house, even if it doesn't work. It does not seem that your son is there yet where he want to get sober. If it were me, I'd not care about the job right now and worry more about him getting sober, even if he probably won't. Most likely he will go to work obviously not right and get fired anyway. You can search his room for clues as to what he is using, although at his age...who cares? All you need to know is that he is being self-destructive and that you know better than to want to help him self-destruct by enabling him in your house and by handing him money. Because you love him, you need to let him go. I think it is sane of you to detach from him, not horriblle. It's called healthy boundaries, taking care of ourselves and detaching from the dysfunction. I hope you can find some peace and serenity by taking your focus off of him and on each precious moment, one moment at a time :) [/QUOTE]
