[QUOTE="Step-monster, post: 648597, member: 18783"] Thank you all! I regret that this sight has to exist, but I am so glad it does! I just received a call from a family member that my son is back in the hospital from the fight he had the other day. He passed out in a bathroom in a store. They are keeping him overnight. The family member went to sit with him for a while and she said he was lying through his teeth when the hospital staff was asking him questions. Her and her husband found another shelter with a six month program that will take him. All he has to do is make a phone call in the morning, submit to a drug test each week, and work in a factory during the day. They have councillors. She gave him the phone number and said "this is your last chance!" You have to grow up and fix your life. I hope he takes the opportunity. But I doubt he will. I guess the guilt comes from "did I do enough?" I believe we did do enough. We had him in counciling for many years. Gave him many chances to turn his life around and gave him many consequences when he screwed up. I think there is always a part of you that says "did I do enough?" I know he can not live with anymore. I have and will continue to maintain my strength there. I simply can not live with him in the house..... Thank you all again....it has been a great help knowing we are not alone going through this! [/QUOTE]
