[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 500120, member: 3710"] Yes, Illinois is one of the states where we have to go to court and formally ask a judge to evict our son. I called the courthouse today and they told me that it can take from 30-60 days to get a court date, because of the backlog here in our area. So there is no way that we can get him out of our house quickly. difficult child just came home a few minutes ago and he has all kinds of excuses for what the teacher said. This teacher told me that difficult child was kicked out of a local fast food restaurant last week-end for smoking pot in the bathroom of the restaurant. Now today difficult child tells me that he was not one of the kids that were kicked out, but that he was with other kids at the restaurant who were kicked out. He keeps insisting that he is not using any drugs, and he is very proud of his clean drug test. I called the outpatient program today and told them that difficult child was probably still using weed. I wanted them to confront him about this tonight, when difficult child goes to the program (I did not tell difficult child that I had called the outpatient program today.) Now difficult child and I have had a big fight because he refuses to go to the program tonight. He told me that he wants to go to an AA meeting tonight instead, because he is upset about my accusations of his drug use. He then called the outpatient program and told them that he was not coming there tonight. I am so mad at him, because he will just not listen to anything that I say. Now he is planning on going to a one hour meeting, and a friend of his is driving him to the meeting. I am also planning on going to the meeting tonight, just to make sure that difficult child is really there. I am just so sick of listening to difficult child lie to me every time he opens his mouth. He has to have everything his way all the time, and he will lie to get what he wants. He keeps telling me that he can't understand why I am so upset, because he has done nothing wrong (in his imagination). He keeps telling me that he is not using drugs now, and that he was not kicked out of the restaurant for using drugs. I know for sure that he is hanging around other losers who smoke weed, but I can't really prove that difficult child is using weed yet. I feel like I have to absolutely prove that he is using weed now, so he will really understand what is happening to his life. I know that he has to hit rock bottom before he really wants to change his life. Even if we evict him I don't think that this will change his attitude, or make him change. He never takes responsibility for any of his actions, and he will just blame his terrible parents for making him lose his place to stay. I had such hope for him after his stay in rehab, and is seems like that was just a waste of time and money now. It's just so sad.... [/QUOTE]
