[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 495256, member: 1967"] Oh, TL, I am so sorry to hear this. I know how scared you are but at this point the only thing that you can do is let go and let God. Hopefully facing life in a homeless shelter will be the kick in the butt that he needs. Remember that others on the board have had to let their difficult child's hit rock bottom before they got serious about recovery. My difficult child never ended up in a homeless shelter after we finally kicked her out for good but the people she went to stay with gave her a time limit and she had nowhere else to go. That was when she finally checked herself into rehab. She came out thinking we would let her come back but we realized that she was nowhere ready to come back into our home. We again stood our ground and she ended up in a halfway house and seems to realize that if she screws this up she will end up with truly nowhere to go. In the meantime, I turned to the board for strength and support and that is what kept me sane. You know that we are here for you! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
