[QUOTE="BKS, post: 568079, member: 15374"] Hi all, We asked our only child, 19 year old difficult child, to move out in early October because his behavior was no longer tolerable. He was doing drugs, drinking, lying, stealing from us, and ignored most/all rules we had placed on his living here. (The rules were negotiated so we just didn't spring them on him.) He found a place to stay at a house about 1/2 hour away in a college town because he is friends with a guy whose family owns the house. It is basically a drug haven (with even the adult father doing drugs) and our son who does drugs himself has told us he doesn't like it there. He feels trapped with no options. He has been let go from two jobs. We want him to see that he DOES have choices. That he could attend rehab, move into a half-way house, and get/keep a job. What options do young adults have in housing? He believes that 1/2 way houses are full of drugs because he had bought drugs from someone at a half-way house in our hometown. It seems that any room-mate situation would mostly likely be a group of people his age and, of course, partying is usually on the radar. Are there ANY options out there? Thanks.......... [/QUOTE]
