[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 215622, member: 1233"] Welcome, and sending very gentle hugs to you. You are in an awful spot. You simply MUST file the PINS/CHINS petition, and tell the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) that he just can't come home. You are not going to make him get sober. The 3 OD's may help you get him into rehab, as was suggested, but whatever youdo make sure he doesn't come home. I know you love him. But you love your other children and family also. You must protect them from him. And you have a responsibility to protect YOU from him just as much or more. If he killed you what would happen to your family? They NEED you, esp with your son doing what he is doing. Has he ever started fires, hurt animals etc?? Those can be signs of antisocial personality disorder, which is VERY scary. I would be extremely unwilling to take him back into my home, no matter what. It is just a very dangerous situation. I know you love him. Under everything he is still your son, that baby you fed and cuddled, that toddler you guided, that child you played with. But right now the monster of drugs has taken him over. YOU can't get him free of that. You can protect the rest of the family and yourself, while trying to get help for him. But he needs to be in rehab, or another therapeautic environment, or a foster home wehre you will all be safe from him. It will hurt, and it is awful. But you do him no good deed by letting him come home and do drugs and be out of control. All you can do is let him hit rock bottom and fight his way back up on his own. The sooner he hits bottom the sooner he can choose to climb up. Many gentle hugs and prayers, Susie [/QUOTE]
