[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 709876, member: 15032"] Bluebell: Are both children both of yours? Not that it matters. My son went to rehab the first time when he was 15. That was a waste of time and money but I was naive. But my therapist said that even if they don't WANT to go, they do get something out of it each time. I have to believe that too. I also do not want my son living at home ever again. He does not do well here and neither do we. Even though he recently relapsed (again) he is still doing more for himself than he ever has. That's something. I feel cold hearted myself. I have totally blocked my relationship with my son. He reached out to apologize for his backtrack by email (phone blocked) but I pretty much told him I love him but I need a break. I cannot have a relationship with him or anyone where trust and honesty is only one sided. I don't want that. I also told him he [U]cannot [/U]come and see us the week we are at our condo in Florida which is 2.5 hour drive from where he is. This is because I want to relax and can't with him there AND he needs to stay where he is and work. He owes us money. He needs to have at least one consequence for his actions. [/QUOTE]
