[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 695398, member: 15032"] Need your opinion please wise folks: So haven't really talked to my son since he got out of the PHP program. He is now back in IOP where he started back in March when he first got to Florida. On the day he [B]overdosed [/B]on his girlfriend's moms morphine (I think it was morphine), he got two moving violations. One for having an open beer in the car (he did pass the sobriety test or it would have been a DUI) and one for driving the wrong way down a one way street (he was in an area he was not familiar with and I know that can happen so not that upset about that one). I spoke to his therapist a few weeks ago and it seems he still has the sense of entitlement, doesn't feel he needs it blah blah blah. However he told me while in detox before that that it happened for a reason and now he sees that his addiction is serious. So thus the reason that I have pulled away from my son and detached. Dad is handling him. I have given everything to this the past five years and it hasn't changed a damn thing. I can't do it any longer. My husband is so much better at it than I am. He's sober because he knows if he isn't he'll be at a shelter. Husband gave him a list of what we expect from him. First and foremost to get a job and pay us back for the two tickets costing $350 total. After that is done and IF the facility says he is progressing, THEN he can get his car back. He has been in IOP for a week today. So far no job. Says he's applying daily HOWEVER he does not want to work on the strip there which is walking distance. There are a lot of restaurants there. He worked at one before as a bus boy and moved up to food runner. He also could have been a server. This really pisses me off. Today he called to say he was offered a job as a delivery man service but guess what. He needs a car!! He called dad who told him no. He called me and I told him no. We both said you need a job you can WALK to or take a bus to or get a ride to. He thinks we are being impossible. Really??? I think he actually thought we'd give him the car so he could earn the car back! WTF!! He sent me a text just now that he does not have any money to eat or do anything and we leave him there to die. His dad told him he may just sell the car so he'll have to take a bus to a job to get money to buy a car. How'd he like that?? We're doing the right thing aren't we? [/QUOTE]
