[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 711905, member: 15032"] Our son's therapist called Friday after work and we talked to her for a while. She says our son told her he is staying there as long as he has to because he has no place else to go. He does seem to be participating but she asked if he is quiet and shy and I said yes he is. He isn't reaching out to the others he shares the house with but maybe that will come in time. We met this therapist when we were in Florida last month. Her son is actually an addict so she probably has a pretty good feel about what she's dealing with. I can't imagine being a trained addiction therapist yet having a son that is an addict. Another one of life's cruel jokes I guess. She asked if his older brothers would be open to talking to him and/or her so we gave her their phone numbers. I had told her we thought they would be good role models for him when they moved back for a bit after college but he ended up stealing from them too. She said that siblings that do well can actually make an addict feel worse. Go figure. Everything I think would be good is bad and bad is good! [/QUOTE]
