[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 739395, member: 17720"] They took him back. He is going to restart the year-long program. He refused their offer until the money ran out. Now I guess that offer looks pretty good. I expect this is nothing more than "3 hots and a cot" to him until he can get some money together. He's badmouthed the program basically since he graduated. But now that he has no charges pending, I'm sure he will keep his mouth shut until he can afford to get his car back and take off again. Never thinking of anyone but himself. We packed up his stuff today because he got kicked out of his apartment. I guess I could have let the landlord put it on the curb, but it's a lot of brand new electronics he bought with the money he'd saved. So in that sense at least I don't have the heart to cut ties completely just yet... The landlord of his sober living apartment texted me and said that after something like this happens, most of the time the family is no longer involved and he has to clear the apartment himself. So he thanked me for doing it. I guess I'm not the only mother who is wondering how and why this happened. At this point I have no desire to see or speak to him. I expected a relapse -- that's part of the recovery process. But I didn't expect this. I don't know how I will get past it, or if I ever will, or if I even want to try. [/QUOTE]
