[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 589881, member: 12490"] 5 days home from rehab - Its been a tough week. I think the biggest challenge is the lack of structure. With being on homeschooling now - he only has 2 hours of school per day. Other than that, he is watching tv, blasting music and smoking cigarettes. He is supposed to be getting a job - he is doing nothing about that. He is supposed to attend 3-4 AA meetings per week and get a sponsor - he went to one and doesn't "want" a sponsor. It's a nightmare to watch his lack of regard for his situation. I am not willing to police him anymore - any limits or punishments I set will be met with disrespect and abusive anger - so - I will be setting up a meeting with his probation officer this week and I will let him answer to her. I am seriously thinking of just putting him in a long term program where someone else can deal with him - but the expense is so much and I am afraid that he will just not comply and get kicked out. He thinks if he stays clean that should be enough - stay off his back about everything else. I cannot live in a home with someone who has no regard for responsibility. We'll see how school goes - I already got an email from one teacher saying that during their 2 hour session he was 20 minutes late and went to the bathroom 3 times....not good. I feel like I cannot confront anymore as it really only seems to hurt me - I will let the probation officer deal with him and if he doesn't change his attitude, he can go to detention but I will not allow him back here if that happens.
