[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 499396"] Sig... I agree with Nancy that now at least you have a sense of what was going on. Having some idea of what has been going on is much better than being totally in the dark. It sounds like he is owning up to at least some of what is going on which is definitely a good start. I suggest trying to take the approach of listening to what he thinks he needs and offering options but try to steer clear of telling him what he has to do in regards to treatment. He really needs to be ready for help for it to work. Certainly set reasonable limits in your home and let him know if he violates your reasonable rules he will have to leave. Do not let him stay in your home and treat you badly, violate your rules or use drugs. This is where that fine line between helping and enabling gets very fine and sometimes it is hard to see it.... so continue to be clear with yourself and with him.... and make sure you and hubby are on the same page. And keep us posted. TL [/QUOTE]
