[QUOTE="Handful, post: 761866, member: 27176"] You are right, this is hard, but I am glad you are listening to the universe. I have some of the same fears about my son, he does not take care of his mental health and uses substances in dangerous ways. While he learns the material in whatever rehab program we help him into, he rarely puts his coping skills into action, and it is very hard to watch him run his self-destructive patterns. While he was in detention, he would call and cry because he hated it so much and was "bored." It was not enough to keep him from reoffending, though. He has been on house arrest since December (with an ankle monitor and us as his wardens essentially), but this morning at court he was ordered to inpatient treatment due to some behavioral violations. DJS will take months finding a placement probably, who knows what will happen. Our kid has been offered help time after time, and although he is compliant for the most part, he never wholly gives up the idea of using, so usually relapses and reoffends within a few days of completing a program. I'm still hopeful each time I see him doing positive steps. I do understand your frustration with your son not helping himself, and I suspect that others at Nar Anon will, too. [/QUOTE]
