[QUOTE="La Mesa Mom, post: 666812, member: 19490"] My Son is home after his last bout of using and living on the street after stealing my Daughter's car the last time he came home. He has been clean for going on 10 days but doesn't want to give us a false sense of hope. Hope is all I have. For background, he was clean for 10 months after a 4 month stay in a Christian rehab facility almost 2 years ago. After losing his job he was on and off the street. Not ready for "that" community meaning AA etc. We dismissed the police report when we got the car back. I go to meetings and understand the re-wiring of the brain and know it is a long process but am concerned about what should be the focus. We have set boundaries and have not yet given him the keys to his truck, but don't want him to feel imprisoned either. He is 27 years old. Our family is a mess. We are worse when he is on the street though. Husband lost his job early this year and doesn't care about anything but "fixing" Son. Have tried to explain why that is not up to us but he is stuck. Younger Daughter struggling with own life and feeling overwhelmed. I am a workaholic struggling to provide and find focus at work with little success. Please if anyone has any advise I would be very grateful. [/QUOTE]
