[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 603569, member: 1967"] Hi Georgie and welcome. You certainly have a problem on your hands. Normally, I would tell you that you should just make your son leave your home if he is drinking or drugging but the blindness certainly complicates the issue. Have you contacted the American Federation for the Blind to see if there were any programs or services that could help your son? If I were you, I think I would research and try to find any programs where they may help with finding people with disabilities places to live and then insist that your son go to rehab and then on to a group home for people with disabilities if something like that exists. How does he get the drugs and alcohol? Can he get himself to a store? Where does he go when he walks out of detox? That seems like it would be hard to do in his case. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
