[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 688824, member: 16643"] I think it's great that he's holding down a job and sober for 3 months RN! However, in my experience, that is not a done deal. My son has failed several times, even after 6 months. Now he's ready to leave again and he's been in his men's home for 266 days. He's really tired of it. They don't do therapy, they work, and go to church, help people, things like that. But he's ready to move on. 266 days is a very long time. But we still won't let him come home. We tell him that's going backwards. I've learned so much here and it's given me strength and knowledge. The last time he came home, he relapsed within a week. I couldn't believe it. So, my answer is, our kids must go to a sober living or whatever is the adult thing to do. Not come home, not be coddled by mom and pop. My humble opinion is for you to support him in his keeping his job and finding a place to live on his own. That doesn't mean you don't love him. It means they have to grow up and face responsibility. My son would be back at our house in a second if we said yes. He understands that he has to set up his path now.. we are here for support but not to baby him. I believe he will thank us one day. Good, good, good luck to you!! [/QUOTE]
