[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 476396, member: 59"] I know exactly how you are feeling you what you said about wanting to try and control the situation is so true. I have been there done that so many times and it does backfire. difficult child's sober house is in a very bad part of the city. She lives on W. 10th street which is 10 blocks from downtown so that gives you an idea. She already had her car broken into once. Sadly the suburbs don't want these houses in their neighborhood. I would rather have a sober house near me than the nice suburban houses where the parents let their kids do drugs. He will settle down. From what I saw with difficult child it's very normal for them to have these feelings in the beginning and the ties to their old life are still pulling at them. It's difficult for us because we want to see immediate positive change. Keep giving him positive feedback. He just has to do the next right thing. He isn't going to skip court so his spending the night with his friend hopefully will not interfere with anything. And they definitely will drug test him upon return. I'm sending all the good thoughts I can to you and him, this is a difficult time and our hands our tied. Nancy [/QUOTE]
