[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 68028, member: 1436"] I have not read any of the other answers, but I think you need to present the choices to him and leave it at that. Don't argue. Don't tell him which one you prefer. Don't even mention coming home and if he brings it up just let him know that until he is "well" that isn't an option. Presenting the information is not rescuing. Allowing him to come home before entering a long term program is. We allowed difficult child to come home too early. He was clean but that didn't last long. It's hard to change when all you've known and all you've been known as is a druggie....Every time I think I've detached enough to allow him to really suffer the consequences of his actions---I get sucked back in. I think it's the mommy heart. [/QUOTE]
