[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 529109"] Deja, It is very very hard to kick a son out of the house and not know where they are or what they are doing. You don't tell us what led you to that decision (I am sure you had very good reason). If part of the issue is drugs or alcohol then i recommend finding a good parents alanon group. That has helped me immensely.... and if that is an issue check out the subtance abuse board too. In the last couple of months we have had to let our son (also age 20) be homeless and give him no money, nothing. It was so hard to do. Really except for having a child die I don't think there is anything much worse than having to let your child be homeless. Breaks your heart. I am glad to say my son did get himself back to an inpatient program (which yes we are paying for) so at least for now I am sleeping well at night. I think though it is a process and there are ups and downs. The main thing is to take care of yourself, find things you enjoy doing and try to do them. And I know for me it helped me when I got to the point where I felt determined not to let my son ruin MY life. TL [/QUOTE]
