[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 717424, member: 21895"] We head home today and are preparing for the conversation with my son. Texting him yesterday and I know in my gut he feels he is just going to say sorry and all the ususal stuff and waltz right back home. It makes my heart heavy and my stomach sour. For my benefit I wrote this to cement it in my heart. We will tell him we love him and present to him where his choices are leading him including telling him about the bench warrants and his bail resindince and the fact that he will most likely be held until trial. We will have the consent form with us for the inpatient program and explain if he does not agree we can not let him come home. We will again go over the house rules and the fact that he must stay in out patient care, as it will be a 4-16 week wait for a bed. We will tell him we will work to get his alternative school acceptance deferred to next year. We will pray he sees the light and agrees. The one thing we do not know how to deal with is the fact that we know he will fail to stay off drugs and alcohol. I think we should drug test to reinforce he fact that he can not do this on his own in out patient care. I don't think we can ask him to leave the family home if he tests positive considering he is waiting for treatment. I will absolutely not allow drugs in my home. If he refuses we are offering him a ride to the shelter. Any advise would be so very helpful. Wish us luck. :warrior: Fighting the good fight. [/QUOTE]
