[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 637574, member: 18284"] Albatross -- All I can say to all of the posts (including your initial post) is "Ditto". Biking to CA? Uh hunh. I like the suggestion to hand him a list of local shelters. I'm no expert, but "magical thinking" may be contain several diagnoses. Or...........it may contain none and he may just be honing his martyrdom spiel. I, too, applaud your efforts to take him in for 2 months. We are currently in a semi-similar position (our difficult child is 47 days clean & sober as of today -- and, as far as we can tell, it's legit). We just had him stay here for 3 days and are well aware of what a stunning accomplishment that was (for all of us). 3 days. I cannot imagine 2 months. Not even when it's going well (and ours is going well right now). We've just discovered that, for us, S-P-A-C-E is a necessity to preserve our relationship with our difficult child (whom we love and want all good things for...........just as you do). CoM is right......... You are a strong Warrior Mom! Also right that it is what it is. I find your strength and stamina mighty impressive. But I ask...........is it necessary? Or is it healthy for either of you? Only you can answer that question. Just know that we're all rooting for you (and your difficult child....whatever state he's in)! Take care! [/QUOTE]
