[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 747692, member: 22877"] My husband and I had considered, if need be, letting my son come back and stay with us for the interim until he either finds a sober living home that will work with him on the rent until he gets a job or can come up with a month or two's worth of money to move in. We took that off the table almost immediately after we brought it up. When we've tried it in the past it hasn't worked out and usually turned very ugly. I found a chain (is that the right word?) of sober living homes in the south that take people regardless of ability to pay. There are some issues based on a few reviews I've read that make it questionable, but at this point that or a temporary place like Salvation Army may be his only option until he can get himself squared away and get into a sober living home of his choice. As harsh as this may sound, I would rather have him on the streets than under my roof. He was in detox an hour from here for 10 days and is now two weeks into rehab at the same facility. Since he's been gone there has been minimal drama or conflict in my home. And I would like to keep it that way even if it means letting my only child be homeless once he's discharged from the rehab.
