[QUOTE="missy44, post: 351640, member: 6201"] My husband and I are up early, we're picking my son up from the airport today for Easter (my easy child 3 - 17). Hubby goes to his vehicle to head out and prepare for the day and our difficult child is sleeping in our van. My hubby and I told him that he cannot stay here and he's angry and says he doesn't know where the (blank) he's going to go and hubby says you should have thought about that the last time you were here when you broke your contract, used drugs (repeatedly) and got caught, came home under the influence and your mother (me) found you in a compromising position and you were told to come home to discuss things and you didn't show. My husband is so angry with difficult child as am I, but for some reason it's so hard for me to put him on the street. He literally has nowhere to go. difficult child said, I have nowhere to go, husband says it's not our problem you need to fix your life. We told him to head to the shelter or Options for Change. We told him we would drive him, he said that he doesn't need to or want to go there. When you read what's in the books (believe me, I've read them all) I get so confused. Some say to use this all or nothing method, others say don't because it might be the last time you see them. I'm trying hard, we've used this "tough love" method in the past but always give in. I don't want to this time, but I'm frightened. difficult child still thinks that he just drinks and uses pot ocassionally, what's the big deal? Well, why is his life like this if he just uses these things a little bit? And it doesn't matter right? He makes our life hell when he's here (including my easy child's), doesn't follow rules, is disrespectful and my easy child(13) doesn't want him here either. Please tell me I'm doing the right thing... Missy [/QUOTE]
