[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 744128, member: 23371"] I agree with the others about an "intervention". IF that would work, unlikely, it would only work if you had a professional there, ready to go with him to a program already paid and agreed to take him. Most of us don't have the money to do that. Rehabs don't hold beds open for addicts they haven't talked to. Non cash paying programs don't accept addicts conditional on their agreeing to go at some future date. God bless if you want to spend some hours trying to find a place. But I strongly suggest that you find the "interventionist" first and let them do the calling. And how are you going to pay that person? Bottom line. No, not feasible. Further, what does he have to lose? He's lost everything but your home. Kick him out and you've done it. Why are you torturing yourself more by arguing with him about this? You had an agreement and he violated it. You know it. He knows it. Now he's manipulating you into going back to the discussions before he came down. Starting all over as if its a new situation. Its not. Nothing has changed except he has lost the other place he had. Sorry but you are letting him torture you. Its over. Tell him that. Don't give him another penny. [/QUOTE]
