[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 682539, member: 15032"] Hi Colleen; sorry you are going through this. Didn't you give your son $1200 or something not long ago for the dealer situation and now he is back into the same boat again? I just worry for you. Our children lie to us when they are using and/or involved in that lifestyle. We demanded our son go to rehab or leave and he did go to rehab. I knew he had no place to go and really no friends so that made it harder. He was the kid that never even wanted to go to sleepovers because he just wanted to be "home" so it was very hard for us. He wasn't dealing but using pills and drinking. But he wasn't respecting himself, us, or our home. I think it's the hardest thing but best thing we ever did. We were going to let our son finish his semester too but he went too far off the rails; he was somehow getting A's. We are still trying to get our money back due to the hospitalization and have a good chance. I totally get it that you want him to finish the semester but be careful of him using that to manipulate you. Our son did that for awhile too. Do what is best for your family but there is probably a lot you don't know. There always is. We JUST went through something very similar. It seems so unfair that this happened to our family. I am heartsick that he is not in our home but I know he can't be. He may never be able to live with us again. Prayers and hugs for you. [/QUOTE]
