[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 284002, member: 1233"] I want you to do an exercise for me, if you would. Please go and pull every thread you started for the time you ahve been here. Print them if you can. Otherwise write down the title of the thread, what difficult child had done, what the consequences you let him feel were, and how his behavior changed because of what you did or did not do. Also write down the number of times you told us you would get therapy, that you had therapy, or that you were on a waiting list for therapy. Write down how many of us suggested therapy. How many suggested medications. The LOOK at these numbers. In many many ways, your son refusing help to get out of his drug/alcohol abusing lifestyle seems very very VERY close to you telling us you will go and get therapy - and not doing it for weeks, or switching tdocs quickly. I really pray you do this. I have a feeling the number of times you tell us you are getting therapy but you don't will STUN you. The same for the number of times you have told difficult child not to use drugs, not to steal, that he cant come to your house, etc... and eh did these things anyway. What is YOUR bottom in this situation. I think many of us would have hit bottom with your difficult child/situation many months ago. How is difficult child's refusal to get help for his drug addiction similar to you coming here for advice and attention and sympathy but refusing to do much of anything to cope with your TRUE problem? I am willing to bet that a doctor looking at your posts in the last year on this forum would say that you have at least a bit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), but most likely you have a full dose of he Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The good news is that there are real medical therapies to help you with this. PLEASE go and get the help you need. PLEASE compare what we have told YOU to what you have told difficult child. I think it will shock you, maybe even more. [/QUOTE]
