[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 729406, member: 22877"] He couldn't move in with us anyway because, among other things, our rent would go up and we are barely scraping. The shop my husband had worked at for 25+ years closed in October due to not making any money, and the owner's other store sustained vast hurricane damage. He's been on unemployment since and it just ran out about three weeks ago. Fortunately the other store will be reopening soon and he'll be working again. And I have told my son that I don't want him in my home, period, until he gets clean and remains clean. As far as his stints in rehab, don't let him fool you. He went into rehab because he got tired of getting up early every day to take the train into the city for work. By going into rehab he was able to get short-term disability while living a life of leisure. Even after checking out he did not make an effort to go back to work until he absolutely had two, then after a week or two he applied for an extension of his disability and it started all over again. How he managed to stay on the payroll as long as he did is beyond me. And now he's seeing rehab as a place to stay if he can't go back to the boyfriend's house. [/QUOTE]
