So difficult child doesn't want to go back to his halfway house. Too many rules, too many restrictions. I think he wants to go back to the condo we had bought for him. Or another, less restrictive place. He claims that the other addicts have been "picking on him".
I am first going to show him the bills and tell him that we are not able to shell out any money for an apartment or co sign for a fancy, less restrictive halfway house.
I am going to tell him that he needs to finish the program there and deal with his issues regarding his lack of initiative in sticking up for himself and getting along with the other clients.
And, of course, he is not coming back here or to the condo.
And why he would think that a less restrictive environment would be good for him after his bout with substance induced psychosis? ( If you haven't been following my story, he became delusional after abusing his Adderal. Was doing good for 5 months.)
My therapist helped me with the talking points. But I need the support of the board! Anything to add anyone?
