[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 717429, member: 21895"] Oh Copa I so would love to be able to do all of what you say to do. When we spoke to our therapist she guided us away from being his jailer. Facing the natural consequences of his actions is what she feels will be best to set him up for change and success. We are indeed between a rock and a hard place. I am saying no being out past a certain time. If he is we lock the doors and turn our phones off. If he gets in trouble and gets picked up by the police again his consequences. None of his friends come by our place any more. The good ones have dumped him and the druggies can't do drugs so they stay away. School is back in in 2 weeks which will be a help. Although I don't want him to start his alternative program and mess that up, I do want him in school. He can continue school from his Rehab if he chooses to go. In a number of days this may well be a mute point as he will most likely be incarcerated again. Then we will be in a position of requesting his release to Rehab once a bed is available. If we are fortunate they can make remaining in Rehab until completion part of his bail agreement. This will motivate him not to leave rehab and stick it out. So many unknowns but I don't control the universe, or him. I will let you know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
