[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 505068, member: 3710"] Our difficult child came home a few minutes ago. The only reason that he came home was to get one of his guitars, so that he could sell it for money. Our son was having a great time today, because he did not go to school, and he hung out with a couple of friends who are unemployed and just stay home all day. He refused to go to the IOP today, and he was high when he was talking to us. My h and I are just sick about our son, and we told him not to come home tonight, since he was using drugs today. Our difficult child just wants to hang out with his user friends, and he will probably find a friend to stay with tonight. This is a totally off the wall idea, but my h is trying to find any incentive that will convince our difficult child to go to IOP. He is considDering offering to pay difficult child a small amount of money every time he attends an IOP. We are thinking of writing up a contract for difficult child, where we will pay him to go to IOP, and he will also only get the money if he attends school every day. We feel that he must be serious about his recovery in IOP, and paying him to go may be the only way that we can get him to attend. Is this a totally crazy idea? We don't want to give difficult child money so that he can spend it on drugs, but we are trying to find any way at all to get through to our son about his recovery. [/QUOTE]
