[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 102163, member: 3626"] Let's face it, you could write all the letters in the world but if your son isn't on board, all they will be is a waste of time, effort, paper, ink and stamps. If you are willing to pay for the all or part of the rehab, it would make sense for you to write a letter AFTER you son has written his (both could go in the same envelope). If you're not or can't, I would simply add a note letting the ministry know you will support your son as much as possible so long as he is in rehab. He will, however, have to make arrangements once out of rehab to find a place to live, get a job, etc. because you cannot have him back home under any circumstances. As to Teen Challenge, I see nothing wrong with sending your son the info again. Who knows, he might actually read it this time and maybe even contact them for help. Giving him advice and guidance is, to me, what we as parents of older children should be doing. Holding his hand and doing things he should be doing himself is not what should be done. [/QUOTE]
