[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 519405, member: 59"] AG when my difficult child went into rehab I took her phone and erased all contacts from it, all texts, all pictures and then I called and had the phone number changed. I was done with all the thugs she was hanging out with and I didn't care if she liked it or not. When I took her car away a year before that because I found alcohol in it I cleaned it out completely and threw away allt he trashy cd's and cigarette wrappers and spray cologne (I guess to mask the smell) and all the other cr*p that was in there including the wire to play her ipod. I had had it and was reclaiming my property. I know I don't have to tell you this but his atttude does not bode well for when he comes out. Have you discussed this with his counselor? I think you have to draw the line in the sand and let him know what you will and will not expect and that he will have to find alternative living arrangements if he can't abide by your rules. And make it clear that you will not support him financially. Don't let your son be abusive tto you in any way. I know for me once difficult child went to rehab and I found out how peaceful our home could be with her gone I was determined to never live like that again. I'm sorry he doesn't seem to be making more progress. He may be sober but his thinking is not. Nancy [/QUOTE]
