[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 725552, member: 1967"] Your son still thinks he is in control. He told you which drug he was going to continue to use and is using emotional blackmail saying you won't see him for a while if you don't give in and let him come home for Christmas. If you give in then you have proved to him that he is in control. You and your husband have set very fair and firm boundaries. No drugs and a treatment program. Stick to those boundaries. You have't kicked him out...you have given him a choice. In a way I envy you. In my state, it is very hard to kick out even an adult who is using drugs in your home. We had to either go through a 60 day eviction process or go to court and get a temporary restraining order which is what we finally did. The good news is that they can get better. After ten very long years of alcohol and drug abuse (heroin and benzoes), my daughter got serious about recovery. She has been sober for 22 months and is a different person now. It wasn't until two years of therapy where my husband and I learned how to set firm boundaries and stick to them that my daughter got better. [/QUOTE]
