[QUOTE="PittDoraj, post: 494161, member: 13500"] I cleaned out his phone before giving it to him. So he has no money and no access to our credit cards. Of course I am checking on-line anyway. I think my biggest problem regarding a program is that his doctors/therapist will not send him to an inpatient treatment for drugs or alcohol. They say he is not an addict, only an 'abuser'. So that adds another hurdle to overcome. Not only do I need for my son to acknowledge a problem with drugs , and I can afford it, I don't see how I can get him into that kind of a program. He does acknowledge he has a problem with 'instant gratification' and relationships. He acknowledges that he doesn't care about others. However I don't think there is some sort of intensive program to deal with that (is there?). My son has texted me this morning that he wants to come home an work something out. Since my wife is at home sick I told him to contact her. She told him she doesn't want to talk to him. I don't want to make this about me but I'm feeling like I am fighting an impossible battle now. By the way, can someone tell me if there is a key to all the acronyms used on this forum? [/QUOTE]
