[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 615720, member: 15801"] Zardo i so sympathize and understand how you feel. It is so hard to stand fast when you tell them they cant come home. However I think you know that his coming home is not going to work.... and then you will be even in a worse position of having to enforce the rules, and probably either call his PO or the police. Really his absolute best chance for recovery is a longer term program or something that he comes up with the PO.... he may think his best option is to come home but that is because he thinks he can do this balance thing and succeed and its a road of peril. So stay strong and tell yourself this horrible awful stand that you have to take may the thing that saves his life! You know I have been through the ringter with my son but really I do believe if we hadnt taken some of the tough stands we have taken with him that he would not have at least at times wanted to come in from the cold to get help. I think if we had let him live at home we would be totally a mess and he would be even worse off if not dead from even more drug use. So as hard as it I think you are doing what you have to do to help keep him alive.... and that is all you can do right now. TL [/QUOTE]
