[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 489400, member: 59"] You wrote my story from two years ago. difficult child started college, got a tatoo the first week, got arrested for drinking and smoking pot after six weeks, stopped going to class, drank and smoked pot 24/7, flunked all her classes, got suspended from college and came home to continue the same until she became an inpatient at a substance abuse center. Fast forward after release, outpatient treatment, relapse, kicked out of our home, lived with druggie neighbor for three months, entered sober house, got kicked out of there, entered second sober house, left there and is currently living in an apartment with other sober people. I can't say she is out of the woods, but she is sober today and goes to AA meetings daily and has a job, and the big thing is she is not living here and she is respectful to us. It's true that your difficult child will not change until the pain of staying the same becomes unbearable. At some point you will have to draw the line in the sand and he either gets help or leaves. Do not let him verbally or physically abuse you. I was terrified to kick my daughter out of the house but she survived and it was the only way she got help. There are several members here who are currently dealing with the same issues you are. We are all here to help. Nancy [/QUOTE]
