[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 710915, member: 15032"] That all sounds good. If it's working and you're sane - those are good things. I just got off the phone with my son's family therapist at his treatment center in Florida. He went in there last Monday to detox. He was stable for his longest time ever - 7 months. He used benzos in the past month and that is how he ended up here. He was smoking weed and drinking a bit and this is where it lead. I didn't like it/I was not in charge. He was working and taking a college class. We were in a tough situation. He is not participating - again. This is not his - or our - first rodeo. We are going to have a family meeting Monday in person and we are going to set the firmest boundaries we have ever set with him. They felt we need to do that face to face and maybe, just maybe, he'll get it. We are taking his car. It's an old car but it's ours. It is there for him when he goes to sober living and then we hoped for him to start college in the fall. But we aren't making it easy any more. He is going to sober living or he won't receive one red cent from us. They really feel we have to FORCE him to grow up. I am NOT looking forward to any of this and I am so sick of it all I could scream!!! [/QUOTE]
