[QUOTE="missy44, post: 352643, member: 6201"] Hi there, I'm so sorry that you are going through this, and with 6 children! I'm curious to see the answers as I'm always anxious and waiting for the other shoe to drop too. I've tried quite a few things with my difficult child. I've brought him into my home, found him a doctor and psychiatrist, worked with drug counsellors (who told me he didn't have a problem), found him jobs (all of them he's lost within three months), have found drugs on his person (in my home) and still worked with him to stay so he could be safe and cared for. Through all of this I have been a complete mess. He has been asked to leave my house on 3 different occasions (once he was gone for 8 months - living with whomever), the 2nd time he was gone for about 2or3months (living with his girlfriend until she dropped him) and now he's been gone for 3 weeks (bumming with friends or sleeping on the streets). The only thing I haven't completely followed through with is NOT letting him come back when he's down and out and promises the world. His only options at this point are treatment, the streets or living with his dad (out of province). I'm not sure if it will work or if I will push him further down the path of destruction, but I do know that enabling him (even though I thought I was helping) wasn't working and it was tearing my family apart. Please take care of you first! Sincerely< Missy [/QUOTE]
