[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 714109, member: 1233"] Sometimes the threat of felony charges and what that will do to your future is enough motivation to turn things around. When my brother finally flamed out, because it really was more a flame out than a hitting rock bottom, it was the idea of what felony charges would do to his future that really got to him. Especially the loss of voting and being able to own a gun. It was enough to motivate him to do rehab the way he does many things - completely and without reservation even though it was Christian and he really disliked Christianity. I would continue to stay detached, and leave the ball in his court. I completely support your decisions. Don't beat yourself up because you tried something that didn't work. The fault isn't with you. It is with him. You didn't lie to him. You didn't scheme or manipulate. You did the best you could with what you knew. Now it is time to go do something nice for yourself!! Use the time, money and other resources you would have used for him to indulge yourself. [/QUOTE]
