[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 569750, member: 2315"] Many of us understand your heavy heart. I am a parent whose kid went down the path of drug and alchol abuse in spite of many many measures to prevent it. I had to put him out at age 18 because his actions were intolerable and also put me in danger both physically and financially as well as emotionally. It is a hard thing to do and only others who have been in the same position can come close to understanding your pain. If you made demands before he left about his behavior and what has to change for him to come home, you must stick to those conditions. If you do not, and let him back without enforsing the rules of living under your roof, he will never respect you and his behavior will not change. It is very likely he will couch surf at friends houses and also likely he will villify you to anyone who will listen. It is a hard place to be as a parent. Just stick to your boundries and hopefully he will learn to abide by them. -RM [/QUOTE]
