[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 465614"] Kids are all different and so I can't say what is true for my son will be true for your daughters... but I will say our relationship is in a different place right now. I know if he was back living in the house our relationship would go downhill fast because we would be back to needing to have rules and him breaking them all and resenting us for having them. However right now at this moment we are in a place where we are leaving decisions about his future to him....I am helping come up with options (ie treatment which he is looking for) but the decision about what to do, what option to take I am leaving up to him. He is in a place where he wants help for the mental health issues and is getting help for the substance abuse because he knows he needs to do that to deal with his mental health issues. He is appreciative that we are helping him with this. Are we close....I wouldnt call it that. He is not really confiding in us but I don't think he is really lying to us either (at least not much), I think he really hit bottom and so at least at the moment wants help..... I bringi this up because there is hope but really until they want help there is not a whole lot you can do except to do exactly what you are doing. TL [/QUOTE]
