[QUOTE="WiseChoices, post: 752812, member: 24254"] Copa, I do not know your son and I am hesitant to suggest this, but I don't believe he went to work last week. He can't get the verification and he knows it, and he is buying one night at a time right now by saying whatever he needs to say to make that happen. That's what this sounds like to me. I am with Busy that you are not the problem. He brought up addiction and with his constant money problems, I am fairly certain drugs are a big issue in all of his problems. The fact that he brought up addiction with you is a step in the right direction in my opinion, because he must be self reflecting at least some. Again, I do not know him, but I am pretty familiar with addiction behavior. And genetically, he is predisposed He does not want to be homeless right now. That much is clear .I wonder whether it might be helpful to be very firm with your requirements , pushing the envelope a .little, and see whether that's enough to get him to seek recovery . You could look into some half way houses or tell him if he were to go to NA for help, they can hook him up with a spot to stay. It's worth a shot maybe. He brought up addiction, so mentioning that NA can help him with addiction and a place to stay as you tell him he is out might be an idea. You know he won't comply with your requirements , so a plan B might be good . [/QUOTE]
