[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 684093, member: 15801"] Ugh.... I do not have a good feeling about this. So my son got out his 30 day residential program. He sounded good when he left. Was going to start the IOP last Monday..... Thought the therapist he was working there was great etc etc. She helped him find this sober living and so we set him up there. Well he didn't go that first Monday..... Seemed honest about why, told us he had a sponser and sounded good. Then he didn't go Wednesday. I texted him and asked him if he went and I got this total response about how all these people were on his back, that he was doing ok, but there was more to life than IOP and therapy and that he would be going Friday. At some point I commented that we would only help him financially if he was going to the IOP. So of course Friday came and went and he didn't go!!!! Arghhh. He always does this... He gets so far and makes progress in therapy and then runs from it. So we have cut off funds and I have not heard from him since Wednesday and probably won't hear from him until he wants money. I hope at some point the therapist will call him, or he will call there but at this point it seems like he is going down a squirrel hole and it is not good. I am trying to prepare myself for detaching more and letting him stumble, fall, be homeless if necessary and hopefully find his way. I hope he finds his way sooner rather than later but right now I am not feeling too hopeful. Once again we shall see. TL [/QUOTE]
