[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 84861, member: 3948"] I have to side with Jane. We sent our son away - once to a rehab for 30 days and twice involuntarily commited to a state run facility. He resented it but it probaably saved his life. I felt guilty also when I practically called hisprobation officer and said to please either drug test him, come see him or lock him up he is going to die on the street. That was very hard to send him to jail to save his life. However it has not stopped his behavior. It has almost destroyed our family life. Right now he lives here athome - when he comes home - he is 24 and on probation again. Sometimes I think it is a mental illness but he knows right from wrong - I cant trust him anymore to leave him here by himself since my young easy child system and things were taken from our house while my difficult child was here with his "friends" one day. I hate it - it is a nightmare. If his probation officer said he could go back to rehab and court ordered it I would be happy. I dont want him to go to jail but do I have to put up with this turmoil?
