[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 721677, member: 18958"] you are in the countdown now. he still thinks he has power. he is bargaining. swiss chalet. nice try. i believe i know how hard this is. the thing is this: you are in the upswing now. you have your power back. he is on the defensive. the ball is in his court. there is hope now. he is a middle class or higher kid, i presume, who has used your shelter and support to fuel a drug habit. now he will have to feed himself and support his own drug habit. now is the beginning of change. i hope. when i kicked my son out 6 years ago, for over 2 years he lived rent free in an ocean front hotel (owned by ex friends of mine who thought they could be better parents than i.) without conditions. that is when the marijuana started. but the thing is, what are we supposed to do? there is no control over any of this. oh how i wish you could kick him out now. i would try to stay away. ((when i finally had the guts to kick out my son i decided on the way home from work and locked the door and would not let him in. he pounded on the windows all night. not good. ) an acquaintance of mine the next day took him to a shelter. and within 2 weeks he landed in the lap of luxury. there is no telling how this will go. but you know one thing: you had no real choice when he weasled out of rehab. who knows? maybe now he will decide to go. i am sorry lbl. ps you are too kind. to me he and the disease are one and the same. he like everybody has choices. he made a commitment. he reneged. he lied. he used you and disrespected you. he abused your love. get mad!!! pss. he has a pea brain right now. but he is still responsible.
