[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 687523, member: 15801"] Copa - great conversation with your son. Thank you for your kind words! Nancy - IInteresting thought about his need for alcohol. He had been in residential to for 30 days so the alcohol was out of his system. And I really don't know for sure if he is drinking. It seems like there are two possibilities for what he is doing. One is the obvious, he is relapsing and drinking and that is a very real possibility and probably true. But it is also possible that he is not drinking and is just trying to make a point that I can't control him and that he won't do what we ask. This is very in line with his personality and the way he is and our relationship. Problem is this is total sabatoge if this is what he is doing. I hope against hope this is what is going on and he will come to his senses with my quietness and go back to IOP on Monday and pull it together. I am hoping for this but definitely not holding my breath as I doubt this will happen. My husband has a business trip out there in a couple of weeks and so may see him... If my son doesn't blow him off. I am very glad that I did not agree to go on this trip as I don't think my going to see him would be a good idea at all right now. I am feeling pretty clear at the moment (that of course can change easily) that I need to keep quiet and see what if anything he does. If he does nothing, does not go to IOP then we will give him no funds and if the end of the month comes we will not pay his rent and then he will be homeless... Unless of course he has gotten it together to prove us wrong and can pay his own rent. (Which would be wonderful). And of course if he is relapsed he may be kicked out sooner rather than later. So that is where we are at..... I am going to post separately about my experience working with the homeless last night and today. TL [/QUOTE]
