[QUOTE="RBMom, post: 632191, member: 18167"] difficult child called from rehab on Thursday and said he was ready to leave and could I pick him up. After talking to his counselor I agreed to it. We no sooner got in the car when he mentioned a personal health problem he had been experiencing for several days. He asked me to stop at a drugstore and get something for it, which I did. I allowed difficult child to come into my house to take care of the problem. With the condition he was in I just couldn't let him out on the streets like that. We ended up having a really good discussion about everything and with him saying he's done with drinking. He just wants to find a job, make money, and start living in a motel. husband and I had a talk and allowed difficult child to sleep at our house since he still wasn't feeling well. The next day we all had another talk and came to some realistic agreements- one being that when a room is available at a really good sober house nearby, difficult child would go there. In the meantime he could stay with us. difficult child went right to work applying for a job and filling out some online applications for financial assistance. He called his probation officer again and went to his community service. Tonight we all went to a movie and out to supper. Things have been calm, positive, and stress free. I feel I've made a good decision since difficult child went for treatment and he's not drinking. I've always held the belief that when someone makes an effort to change you should support them. Feeling hopeful for difficult child right now and that I've made a good decision. Thank you all for listening and offering suggestions. [/QUOTE]
