[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 384774, member: 59"] GB we have been where you are at. Paralyzed with fear and the inability to do anything to stop the chaos. My husband, who normally is a very assertiv eperson in business, stuck his head in the sand, or I should say under the blanket, the morning difficult child came home so drunk she urinated on our carpet. I started checking into treatment centers and within hours we were driving her for an evaluation. I didn't think I knew where to start looking for a treatment center either, but we found an excellent one and it was only 1 1/2 hours away. Start by calling your insurance company. They usually have a completely seperate dept for mental health. Find out what your benefits are and ask them what facilities are in your plan. Then get on the phone or internet and start checking them out. When you find a facility start making a plan to get him there. It may be that you will have to cal lthe police and charge him with domestic violence to get him arrested. It may be to have him charged with drugs since they are using in your home. That may be the leverage you need, he may be court ordered into treatment. Call his PO and tell him you want him in a treatment facility, he can help make it happen. Your son is not goign to get better until he gets treatment. Your family will continue living in h*ll like our was until you get help for yourself. I know I sound like a preacher but you and your wife first need to get on the same page and then find an al-anon or families anon group and start going. You will gain strength and will not longer feel powerless. Please don't feel alone, there are others of us who have been and still are in your shoes. There is hope out there. Nancy [/QUOTE]
