[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 607048, member: 1967"] Hi Maxiesoma. Welcome to our little corner of the CD board. I'm sorry that you are going through this. Many of us have had to do the same thing and no one will tell you that it is easy. You are doing the right thing. Your difficult child has to get to the point that he is so uncomfortable and unhappy that he doesn't want to live like that anymore. If you make it easy, he will have no reason to change. I'm glad that he says he wants to go to detox. That is a great first step. Let him sleep in bathrooms until then. It is his own fault for stealing from his friends. You need to take care of you now. I like MWM's suggestion of finding a support group or a counselor. I have been seeing a counselor who has helped me set boundaries with my own difficult child. It has been a great help to me. Also, keep posting. I don't think I could have gotten through the darkest times without this wonderful group of people. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
