[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 750171, member: 15032"] Welcome back. Ugh wash, rinse, repeat. He knows he has a roof over his head so that may be why he isn't too worried about his job. My son is back also after being away from us for a long time (in my signature). It is very hard indeed! I would make it clear that he must NOT quit his job until he has a new one lined up. That is what we have instilled in our son now and he complies. He never would even look for a job before his stay at Teen Challenge. He literally lived on our couch all day until he'd binge and then he'd be in his room. Awful way to live. We are also trying to help him be independent and will only support him while moving forward - which so far he's been doing pretty well at. Not perfect. Does he have any friends he can move in with as a roommate situation? My son has made it clear he does not want to live alone but we suggested a roommate - a platonic female would be ideal - because he is non-confrontational so someone could take advantage and he may be more inclined to handle a female than a stronger male - is our thinking. He is okay with that idea. That would be my only suggestion as I have gone through all ideas myself also. I would consult a therapist as a couple if you can to try to work through this rather than attacking each other. Of course attacking is easier LOL - we did it too. [/QUOTE]
