[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 621658, member: 15801"] I had the same reaction as DDD....in general I think people do better in rehab when they know they have family support. My son has spent a lot of time in rehabs out of state where we could not visit regularly... .now he is an hour from us and has been there longer than anyplace else. He is doing pretty well and I cant help but wonder if one factor is is that we go and see him every week. So sleep on it before making a decision and I would also call the case manager and see what he thinks. Rehab is hard, battling addiction is hard and there are going to be things that come up along the way and he needs your support. Now having said that you also need to take care of yourself and if it is really better for you not to go then dont go. And if you go and he has a bad attitude towards you then cut your visit short. Dont put up with any abuse from him. Otherwise I agree with DDD let the program give him consequences for his behavior there, you dont need to add to those. Instead concentrate on you healing your relationship with him. And believe me I know about the disappointment when we see them self sabatoge.... I have been through that so much with my difficult child I have lost count of how many programs he has been in... literally. But for the moment he seems to be doing what he needs to do (with some screw ups along the way but luckily he is in a place that recognizes that is part of the process).
