[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 699680, member: 15032"] Kathy Thanks for your comments. I think maybe him getting a job and renting a room would be a good thing. Like you said, he'll realize that he cannot have a job and do drugs. He'll be completely responsible for himself for the first time in his life. We did not swoop this time but it is hard. I kept thinking of what everyone said on here and what my therapist had said: DO NOT GIVE HIM MONEY. My therapist told me several weeks ago when reviewing therapists cases that the woman there that runs the addiction program told her to tell me not to give him any money but at that time I said that we had sent him 1200 miles away and he was in treatment which was the only reason for our minimal help. It takes time to get "there". If he refuses to go to treatment again and wants to work, we'll sit back and let him do it. My home is still peaceful. [/QUOTE]
