[QUOTE="keista, post: 463008, member: 11965"] I hear you, and if these 'friends' aren't ready to move forward in a positive life, then it's not really a good option for him, but if they are trying, then this is where the "extra family support" comes into the picture - if he allows it. I'm talking several daily calls to see if he's done x, y, z AND p, d, q, AND a, b, c. Kinda like being there without physically being there. On the flip side, if you are FINALLY seeing real progress in him, maybe you can *gently* convince him to stay home until he is "stronger" enough to better resist going astray. From what I've read, he really is a "good guy" but due to the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) he is more easily led astray (which I see as different from traditional difficult child poor decision making) I completely get that the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) changes the rules for you, but a recent post (and maybe a combination of posts on this forum in general) struck a chord, and ever since I've been concerned for your difficult child's future. in my opinion you need to be actively looking for transition possibilities for him. Besides, you and husband deserve some "worry free" time in your golden years. by the way I was still composing this while your most recent post went up. [/QUOTE]
