[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 483697, member: 59"] Oh TL I was so worried when I saw the subject of this and saw it was you posting. I am so sorry. I got that call from difficult child's sober house while we were on our way to vacation in July. It's awful. My advice is if he calls for help tell him to find another sober house and get accepted and you will consider paying the rent but that's all. If he is arrested you can push for inpatient treatment and since he is indigent they may pay (at least they will in our state). This worry never goes away. Every time the phone rings and I see it's difficult child I worry. Every time I don't hear from her for a few days I worry. We learned in treatment that we can love them to death. I told difficult child that my worst fear was that she would die on the street but if she didn't get help she would die anyway. He's not ready to quit. I know it's easy for me to say but try to stay strong and focused on what needs to happen, for him to hit bottom enough to really want to get well. (((((HUGS))))) Nancy [/QUOTE]
