[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 422997, member: 7948"] Alanon or Naranon parent group. Find one and go tonight if possible. I had trouble following your logic on why it's a good thing that he is asking for a 2 week extension on moving out so he can "get clean" without going to rehab after he 1. Stole money from you to support a drug habit 2. Lied to you so he could get money to support a drug habit 3. Refuses to take his bipolar medications Reality check here - are you telling us that you think he can get clean without going to rehab? That he can do this while living in your house with people (you and husband) who are not allowed to be honest with him about his drug habit and his mental illness? I hope things work out better than my gut says they are going to. If you're going to do this I suggest you and husband figure out your boundaries and put it in writing to him with consequences. It is not up for discussion or agreement. This is it. Period. And put away all your credit cards, bank records, check books, purse, wallet, tax returns... While you're at it, you might just want to double check the credit cards and bank accounts for unauthorized use/withdrawals. Hope I am completely off base. Hugs, Patricia [/QUOTE]
