[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 464116"] Welcome!!! (((HUGS))) You are doing the best you can and yes, our guilt definitely fuels our enabling. He is almost an adult, though. It will be up to him to change. I wanted to correct someone - even though your son is not yet 18, that doesn't mean much in the mental health field. You need to check your state laws for the age of medical consent in your state. Sometimes it is as young as 12 - 14!!! I called all sorts of rehabs when I learned of my daughter's drug problem and I was told they would not accept her without her consent. I had to give her the ultimatum of rehab or not living at home. She chose not living at home. She has not lived here in about a year now.... Keep coming back here - this place was the only thing that saved my sanity sooo many times.... [/QUOTE]
