[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 134824, member: 187"] Of course it's hard to say no to him!! Perfectly natural! Doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. Just means you're human! :warrior: You find yourself still explaining to him, because he doesn't get it! Also, perfectly natural. :winks:You have rescued and enabled your difficult child for years, and he doesn't know about detachment. YOU DO!! What I found always helped me in these situations was to look honestly at MY options (not difficult child's)! and then compare how I would feel. Is it better to say NO, and maybe feel guilty, or is it better to say YES, and then be on pins & needles. Personally, I don't get the difference between "drug court" and "rehab", but that's just me. I would pull back from the whole deal, and stand firmly on my ground of "He's not coming home to live". I really admire your attitude on that, please keep it up! Peace [/QUOTE]
