[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 616956, member: 15801"] You are absolutely doing the right thing.... It is really hard and awful but sometimes that is what you need to do. We had to do this when my son was 18..... and he lived with friends, went to rehab, came back, lived with friends, went to rehab.... eventually he ended up homeless for awhile.... we have been through it all. Bottom line when things get too hard he agrees to go for help.... and now the court got invovled and he is now in a long term treatment ordered by the court and if he leaves he will end up back in jail. And as hard as it is to have a kid in jail, it is much better than homeless, and much better than overdosing!!! Really there is nothing else you can do. He needs to want to help himself, and the only way he may want that is when there is not other option. You absolutely need to take care of yourself. If you can find a support group such as alanon for parents that might really help. It has been a huge help to me. TL [/QUOTE]
