[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 759169, member: 3305"] Hi Copa, Mine, like yours, cannot be forced into sobriety. It will have to happen because he is Fully convinced...finally once and for all convinced In his own mind. If he wants treatment, I can arrange that...I have before but he left a week before he was to be admitted...earlier this year. I so wish that conditions worked. We have tried that. He did comply with mental illness medication...as long as I was acting as a facility and handing it to him every day. The only thing my son, for years now, has been passionately fervent about, is seeking drugs...he also has a heart for the homeless. Interestingly enough...when my son was around 10 years old, he told us that he would not go to work when he grew up...that he would just be homeless. I had dear husband take him to see the homeless in the city streets one weekend night around that time. Looking back now...Sons 10 year old self spoke this into future reality. I have often wondered if that was a horrible decision on our part. The “scared straight” agenda backfired! I would never wish homelessness on anyone’s child. It is very sad to me to be that depraved. I hope my son will work towards a way out of that life but one thing I am discovering is that I can’t...I simply don’t have the power...to do this for him. G-d knows I wish I did. lms [/QUOTE]
