[QUOTE="hope2hope, post: 733920, member: 22856"] So sorry for the confusion, pain, and suffering you are being forced into by your son's choices. Firstly, do not blame yourself nor begin the emotionally mind wrecking rerun of your parenting history. Know your decisions have been from a place of love! Your son will be back because he will need help. Prepare now for how you will respond. Use this time to educate yourself on the resources available in your community that your son can choose to help him heal. Make any family support conditioned on him getting outside help. It will be his choice whether he wants to get better or live on the streets. My story is very familiar except my son probably has a long term mental illness brewing in addition to drug use. We are 1/2 step away from pushing him out of the house. He will be in therapy or out of the house by the end of June or earlier. I don't know what option my son will choose (help & sobriety OR living elsewhere) BUT I do know that it is one or the other. You did the right thing by asking him to leave. Hopefully it will help him realize how his choices are directly impacting his life. [/QUOTE]
