[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 684034, member: 15032"] Rebelson: I agree with Walrus. You don't have to give a straight answer. Just put him off and even if that real answer is "no" you don't have to come right out and say that either. My son was in detox for 5 days and rehab for 21. He has been in sober living IOP since March 16 in Florida and I am SO glad he is 1,000 miles away. Of course I love him and miss him. :grrr: Last night I wanted to strangle him by text. I want to tell him that he can never live with me (or near me) again because that is how I feel but I bit my tongue. He was saying it's a waste of time for him to be there because he needs to be in college blah blah blah. I reminded him when he left Illinois he was addicted to prescription medications, stealing and lying and he needs to be there as much as any of those other men! That he won't get help unless he is receptive to it. I honestly don't think I ever want him in my home again period. I don't think it will ever be good for him or us. It does make me sad that I feel that way too. I think it's wonderful that your son is getting help on his own and really seems to want it but I really think it's a slippery slope to have him back in your home or even thinking about it anytime soon or ever again so give yourself a break! It's okay that you feel that way. I know that I do too. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
