[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 680450, member: 19076"] Thanks for this, PatriotGirl. I'm so glad to know that people make their way out of this mess. When we kicked him out last summer, we gave him the same condition that if he went to in-patient rehab, and he and actually worked the program, he could possibly come home. He worked hard in rehab, and it showed. The first several months back at home were really good. He was acting like a regular teenager, and it was nice to have just a regular teenager. I'm not sure if he really has used meth again since that time. He's skinny but always has been. He's never been a big eater, so it's hard to say if they symptoms he is exhibiting are from meth use or just an angry young man who isn't eating enough and has acne because when he does eat it's usually ice cream or cereal. :) He doesn't have any money now, and the only one he's been hanging around with since we took the car away is his girlfriend and they are usually here at the house. He has been gathering job applications and bringing them home for help, and he is the one filling them out, not me. We talk about community college and he is against going again. He is intimidated by the Accuplacer test because he knows he will not do well. He was in special education all his schooling and then didn't try very hard, and his education suffered greatly for it. He has very low self-esteem because he knows what he has done to himself. I have told him that he will need to take remedial classes, or I can help him learn what he is deficient in. He's not onboard with any of this yet, but I hope one day soon he will be. [/QUOTE]
