[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 656517, member: 16643"] Hello my good people. My son has been in his Victory Outreach progam for 77 days. This is a Christian program where he prays, goes to church, reads his bible and works daily to live there for free. I'm super happy with his change and he has been sober and a new person in the Lord since day 3 there. He now is telling us that he feels like a slave working there. Getting up at 5am every day and not getting home til 5pm. This is the way the program works and it's free, food and everything. But he shares a room with 4 guys and often loses his shoes, clothes, etc. to the people that live there. He has no internet, no phone, no tv, can't leave. He tells us that he wants to do something with his life and not just work. We agree. The question I'm throwing out here for you all is, should we let him come home? We miss him, love him and believe he's changed but we are so nervous to bring him back. He doesn't have a job but said he is willing to work hard and go to school for a career. We think we should bring him back and monitor his moves (time consuming) put him on our phone company so we can monitor his calls, watch his bank account, etc. If he agrees to us being up in his business, we believe he will have accountability and eventually we will be able to trust him more. We are both just so scared to be hurt again. What are your thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
