[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 366520"] Welcome. I'm so sorry. This sound profoundly difficult. by the way, good for you and husband for being a united front. This is not your fault. Can you get your son into some sort of treatment? Do you feel that the alcohol abuse has developed into addiction? What does the therapist say about this? Is he going to therapy regularly? Will he consent to going to AA as well? I would NOT tolerate thiefery in your home. Ditto for selling or doing drugs in your home or violence in your home. If this continues, I would [B]SERIOUSLY[/B] consider telling him he will have to live with friends. You can always continue to pay for the therapist, school, other medical expenses and perhaps food. (NEVER give cash out in this case...make checks out directly to physicians and/or services that have been actually provided). In the mean time, lock up everything. Consider putting a deadbolt on your masterbedroom and then with-i your bedroom have a keyed lock box for your money, jewlery and other valuables. HOWEVER, this is [B]NO way[/B] to live for the long term. Please look up on line Al Anon or Families Anonymous meetings. Then get yourself to one of the two meetings. Our daughter is not a user, but I still found FA to be profoundly helpful. These parents really "get it" and know good resources in your local community. [/QUOTE]
