    @susiestar You really put things down in most correct way. I really appreciate it... Rehab facility allows phone and computer access. I just got a text last night that I should NOT tell where she is to my own child, neighbors or people at my work. It is deeply personal and she hopes for me to...

    Again, the weather got cold all of sudden. My wife is in so called rehab center, in a private house located at the most expensive area in Orange County. Just like 5 star resorts in Malibu rehab that you see in TV commercials. I drove there to bring some sweaters. I entered the house and things...

    I do not push my stepson or my own children. I am not that type, "You design your own life" is my thing. I told him 2 years ago when he came back home after dropping out, "If you do not want to go to school, then it is fine. College is not for everyone. If you chose to do that, then get a...

    Yes. stepson moved to FL. He's attending a community college, taking couple of classes and working according to mother. Do I believe in everything he says? Probably 15%. According to him, snorting Klonopin gives him short but instant high. Who knows? My wife has checked into a rehab yesterday...

    Long time no talk here... 1. Stepson As constant attacking from mother, I reinstated the health insurance knowing that could send a wrong message. I contacted the insurance company whether I could put a restriction on prescriptions. They said NO. He's 22 so I can't find out what he's taking...

    OK. It's been more than 2 months since my stepson left for FL. 2 Weeks ago, he got in touch with his mother saying he enrolled in a school and got a job at a restaurant... It really relieved my wife as she could not sleep for a long time. As expected, my stepson disappeared from the radar and my...

    Angry at Setback

    I really think you are brave and love your son very much. Otherwise you would not be doing what you are doing. We all have issues that our children got hooked on substances that are no good for young people's lives...

    Am I too detached?

    My wife knows that I will not let her son back in the house again to live. Only time I will allow him in our house is when he has a vacation and wants to spend few days. However, he won't be able to do that by himself paying for flying tickets. Her drinking has gone down after her son left. I...

    Updates... Stepson arrived in Tampa well... I happened to looked at his text messages with his mother. Even the day before he left, he asked his mother if she had money to give him... I made sure our bank account had "0" balance so that she could not have given him any... Mother kept on texting...

    Lonely adult son

    Francesca, Read through my experience as it will help you understanding what you are facing in near future so you will not be surprised once other things happen. Your son is in so much better position than mine. After dropping out of college, my stepson moved back home. We thought he'd come...

    OK... I feel that my supporters kind of got tired of me not taking any actions or mother enabling the whole thing. After learning that his options are all exhausted PLUS he got caught by his mother with cut off straws and empty little nickel Ziploc bags, there was a one day drama. He did not...

    16 years old son using drugs - Need help!!

    I am sorry Julie to hear about your son using drugs... We are all here because of similar issues. 1. What kind of drugs is he using? 2. How often do you think he is using? Has it become a daily routine? Sooner the better that he will have a chance to get his mind off from doing it. My stepson...

    In three hours I will know if Difficult Child is using...

    When using substances, first thing they do is lie... It won't stop until she quits... It's every parent's nightmare having to deal with this sort of thing. You do not have TRUST. Once you lose this, it is very hard to gain it back.

    Well... as everyone expected, nothing really happens as everyone is so unhappy and youngest one is so excited about going to one of the most prestige schools. He will go to Seoul for the whole Summer then will be gone. The toxic house somehow still functions and moves like a snail. I finally...

    Another night he came home around 1:30 AM, left the front door unlocked, left the light on and god knows what he was doing that late with whom. My wife and I have passed the stage where we ask questions. A compulsive, pathological liars can't shoot a straight answer, they have to think about it...

    Well... It's been a while since I posted my last one.. Nothing... Absolutely NOTHING has changed in my house. Mother has been constantly giving stepson to enroll in any program that is positive like "X-Ray Technician" "EMT" "Paramedic" "Fireman" whatever doesn't even require a Bachelor's degree...

    Dear RN0441, Sorry for hearing about your mother. The irony is.... There's non stop from things happening. As you mentioned about aneurysm, one of our dogs had a serious seizure and had to be taken to the vet right away. She is better now but the vet told us it would continue to happen so we...
