[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 579471, member: 59"] Wakegirl, I got that text one day about six weeks after we kicked difficult child out and she went to live with a druggie neighbor boy. She said she hated where she was living and begged to come home. It literally tore my heart out. I wanted to text her and tell her to come home and hug her and tell her I loved her and have us live happily ever after. I texted back much the same as you did to your son and told her she couldn;t come home because nothing was going to change and she needed help and we couldn't help her. She cried and begged and said she would do anything to come home. I told her I would support her going somewhere for help but that she had to make the calls and let me know what she found. She called the next day and said she found a sober house that she went to for five months and then got an apartment on her own. We have a very good relationship now but those few days were the hardest of my entire life when I had to turn her away. So I know somewhat how you are feeling and I wish there was something I could do but your difficult child has to do this himself. This is the hard part, the real tough love part. Everything you said to him is true. Nothing will change until he changes. Continue telling him you love him and will support him in getting help. (((((WG))))) [/QUOTE]
