[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 747727, member: 15032"] Laura I agree with the others. My son did that also. Said his dad was an alcoholic etc. at one time. Dad's an Irish Catholic drinker and at times drank more than I'd like but not out of control and has subsided with age. Now son says that no one in the home abused alcohol. So they do that to take the light off of them. Agree, good therapists have heard it all! Since your son is almost 30 I don't think I'd do any more family counseling personally. He's a grown man. Enough. He needs to work on HIMSELF. You and hubby have nothing to do with that. I agree that he should NOT live in your home anymore. He needs to be on his own, grow up and take accountability for his OWN life. Our son is 23 and with us again. He just signed up for welding/pipe fitting school which he hopes to get accepted to when it starts in June. As soon as he can support himself he needs to be on his own. He is not 23 mentally yet due to his drug use but he has to figure out his own life. We will be there for emotional support always but I do not, in any way, want to stand in the way of him growing up and being independent. I want my life back. [/QUOTE]
