[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 679296, member: 20051"] I'm new here, and I've been reading. I have had my own issues, but with my sister. Just my 2 cents here: The money you are spending on tuition is really getting thrown away whether he goes to school or not, because, I assume, you won't be bankrolling his next semester. In addition, is he realistically going to get a degree and a job while abusing drugs and alcohol? You say he stole from you. Here is what I did to get my sister out. I told her either she leaves or I am calling the police and pressing charges, in which case she will be leaving anyway, it's just a matter of her choice whether she goes to jail or somewhere of her choosing. I have learned that ultimatums about going to rehab don't work. She either went and left (after sucking up a chunk of my money) on some trumped up excuse, or she went and towed the line and relapsed a month after getting out. They don't get clean until they want to. My sister doesn't want to in spite of being on the streets or in jail for the last 3ish years. [/QUOTE]
