[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 760622, member: 23742"] Hi Dodee and welcome. Yes, my son is 20 and had been living on the streets off and on until recently being court ordered into a year-long treatment program due to trouble with the law and to avoid a prison sentence. He can no longer live in our home for violating rules, disrespect, and the usual issues most drug users have. We do have a decent relationship in spite of that. He chose the lifestyle because he’d rather be homeless than follow rules he doesn’t agree with, particularly when it comes to smoking weed. It’s dumbfounding. After his being kicked out of multiple living arrangements for violating the smoking weed rule, I’ve come to the realization that my son would rather cut off his right arm than try and live without it! Now, he has no choice. But how much easier it would have been just to forego it, at least on the premises of those providing shelter to him so he would have a place to live that’s not being mandated. Apparently, his “freedom” was more important to him. Keep posting here and stay strong. As hard as it is, your son needs those boundaries. [/QUOTE]
