[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 486211, member: 3710"] Thank you for your replies. I took difficult child for an assessment at a private drug treatment center today. They talked to him for one hour, and then told me they would call me later today when they check out our insurance. This center has a separate program for guys who are 18-20 years old, and difficult child said he was willing to go to this center. We talked to a lawyer yesterday, and they lawyer stressed that it is very important to show the court that difficult child is getting help for his drug problem. I think that our son is starting to understand this, but he really does not want to change his habits. We just came home a few minutes ago and difficult child begged me to let him have the car for a few minutes. He is very good at begging, badgering, and generally wearing me down with his constant demands. I said that he could have the car for 1/2 hour, but after he left I realized that he stole $40 from my purse. And yes, he steals from us any chance that he gets. Now I am afraid that he will stay out with the car all day, since he has money. We turned his cell phone off last month, so there is no way that i can contact him. I am just so sick of dealing with all his problems. I really don't even like this kid anymore. I have to lock up my purse and my credit cards all the time, or he will steal from me every day. difficult child actually told me once that he wouldn't have to steal from me if I would just give him everything that he asks for! I want to get him in rehab just so that we won't have to deal with him every day, and we can have some peace in this house. [/QUOTE]
