[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 739758, member: 16761"] Anyone following my story knows I'm in the same boat. My son has been kicked out of the house for about 2 months now (second time) and has made some small indications that he might be ready for help. He asked about staying with my brother cross country last week but never followed up. Last time he came back we couldn't find an inpatient rehab and everything imploded, but he ended up getting thru it by himself at home for a while until about a year later and things got bad again. He's also been asking if he can do some laundry and we reluctantly said yes (I think my husband wants to see him) but he never shows. Part of me thinks he's just trying to maintain a connection. Anyway, yes this is a tough road. I know if my son came home to do laundry and there was still arguing, it would really upset me. I'm not sure I would be able to have any hope about sobriety. But then again being drunk or high can make people say and do horrible things. I think you are doing the right thing by letting him take ownership of the first steps, but it's hard because we know the first steps are usually the hardest. At least he knows of a place that will take him, I think we lost precious time while looking for places and coming up empty with my son. Let us know how things are going this week! [/QUOTE]
