[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 134591, member: 3948"] Well. . . . . of course I thought we had it all worked out but now my son sends me a letter saying he is re thinking drug court!!!! The ministry guy can get him in a rehab. He says he gets better and not playing so many games every time he goes to see him. He said that my son told him he didnt think he could do drug court. My sons PD told him he worked hard getting him drug court. I think it is an easy way out right now but what he hasnt thought about is that home is not an option while he is working that basically outpatient program. It is a year and a half - get a job - pay every week - drug test every week - go to AA meetings - etc. and if he is home guess who takes him?????? Not going to happen. So he also asked if he could come home on house arrest and wait until they found him a bed in rehab - I dont think so! Why in the world do I have to keep explaining to him that it is not in his best interest - there is not enough structure for him to succeed especially at home - rehab may have more structure and people trying to recover but that is not a sure cure either - it comes from him = why does it still hurt so much to tell him no - I guess I just put myself in his shoes sometimes and know that if I was him I would want to come home - but home is where all the people he hung around with are - we both work and my easy child son about had a fit! So ........ that is the deal. Any opinions>>>> [/QUOTE]
