[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 544037, member: 1967"] I would definitely NOT leave him home alone!! been there done that and have the forged check to show for it. Many of us have struggled with this problem. Is there someone your difficult child can stay with while you are gone? I would tell him that he has to find a place to stay while you are gone and make sure that you take away any keys he might have and change the code on your alarm system (and make sure that he knows you have changed the code). If you do decide to take him with you, tell him that you will search his things before you leave to make sure that he doesn't bring any drugs with him. You have a bigger problem, though. First of all, if he is refusing to pay for his insurance and cell phone, stop paying the bills for him. In fact, I would cancel the insurance and suspend the cell phone service. I hate to say this but you are funding his drug use if you pay for things like insurance, cell phone, and gas. That leaves any money that he has for drugs. A counselor said this to a very close friend of mine and it was an eye opener for her. Is your difficult child working and/or going to school? Have you had these problems for a long time or have they just started? I'm sorry if you have shared your story before. It is hard to keep track of everyone's story. It would help if you added a signature to the bottom of your posts like the one you see below mine. That will help us remember so we don't ask over and over again. Here is a link that explains how to add a signature. [URL="http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f7/signatures-8399/"]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f7/signatures-8399/[/URL] ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
