[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 563130"] OK here is my take on paying for rehabs etc etc. Susie you are right in many respects.... but I know part of my own moving to a different place was knowing I had done everything I could to help my son. That got me clear of my own feelings of guilt...and to be honest if my son gets to a place where he really wants help and asks me for it I would probably help him again. I am not sure if before this I could have let my son be homeless travelling the country in the cold doing who knows what, and been at peace about it.... because as a parent if something happens Occupational Therapist (OT) your kid and you did not do all that you could it would be such a horrible feeling. So MY feeling of peace right now is because I did do all I could and I did help him in rehab all those times.... yes maybe it enabled him but in the end it also helped give me peace of mind. So AG I support you helping him get into rehab again... hopefully he really will want it and it really will work. Recognize that it might not but do this for you and your peace of mind. And yes being in a cheap hotel near 12 step meetings may be better than him being at home.....however I think it is likely to be a really hard trip for you. TL [/QUOTE]
