[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 692972, member: 1550"] Your son is trying to sweep everything under the rug, probably so that he can keep his car and have you pay his bills. The past is two years ago (when it comes to drug addiction it is actually never in the past...it is always a concern). One week is the here and now. I feel you have the right to tell your son anything you feel. You can also set any boundaries that feel right. I wouldn't give him a long speech Short and sweet. "We are disappointed in what has hapoened and you are now on your own. If you don't follow treatment recommendations this time, all money will be cut off. We will talk to you for fifteen minutes three times a week. We love you,but cant do this for you and will not make it easier for you to hurt yourself by giving you money and a car." Of course, use your own words and boundaries. Be prepared for "Then I'lll kill myself." You can hang up and call 911 if he says this, just to be safe. It is probably a manipulation, but I take the threat seriously. Hugs and stand strong. [/QUOTE]
