[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 495616, member: 1967"] Wow, Nancy. I really like that. It's so true and sums things up perfectly. LMS ~ A counselor once told asked me what my greatest fear was if we kicked difficult child out. I said I was afraid she would die. The counselor replied, "Well, there is a chance that could happen. But if you took the chance and she got better, would it have been worth the risk?" Just providing a difficult child a roof over their head doesn't stop their reckless behavior. A former student of mine died a year ago at the age of 26. She was in a horrible car accident that killed her and the driver she was with as well as the driver of the car they hit head on. It was later found that the student and her friend were high on crack and alcohol. She was still living at home at the time. She had started drinking in high school. in my humble opinion, It's time to stand your ground and insist on a half-way house or rehab when he is released from jail. Is there any chance he could be court ordered to a half-way house? Most of the people in the half-way house where my difficult child is living are there on a court order. That way he would have to go and couldn't blame you. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
