[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 713068, member: 15032"] Welcome and glad you found us. Yes I agree you have done everything you can do. Chance after chance after chance. We did that too. I'm glad I am reading this. My son is in sober living (again) and keeps asking to come home to go to college. I keep saying no. Been there/done that. We will help him do it as long as he stays in sober living far away from us. He just did not grow when he was home. I refuse to go backwards. He is my tormentor. When he asks me this it hurts so bad but then I think about everything we have been through (you can see some in my signature) then I realize that I'm crazy for even contemplating this. Last year we hit rock bottom. We finally told our son rehab or move out. He had no where to go so he chose rehab (after many inpatient, outpatient, therapists, counselors, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists -- you name it. I did it.) After rehab his dad drove him to Florida for sober living. He's bounced around there a bit this past year. He had come home after rehab a few times before and after a few months was back at alcohol and drugs. Not around me and not in my home ever again. He has now been sober since April 10. That is great but I need some years in there and even then he cannot live at home. There is no longer any trust. He is 21 but thinks much younger and always wants to take the easy way out. Not anymore. Of course we love him very much and that is WHY we are making him do this. Not waiting around until he "is ready". [/QUOTE]
