[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724706, member: 1550"] Why not sit him down and tell him it's your house rules or jail? Then it is his decision. Rehab will do nada for him if he isn't going to try HARD to change. He is showing that he has the wrong mindset for rehab to work. If he is thinking more about just getting through rehab time so he can have sex and drugs with this girl, is his effort going to be there to really quit? What if he gets her pregnant? Then he is tied to her toxicity forever.Enough is enough. Rehab is no guarantee he will change or stop his lifestyle. in my opinion it begins at home. He is likely using drugs with the girl too. Rehab will have tons of rules. He needs to follow them or, if rehab there is like here, he will be asked to leave. They don't like pretenders in rehab. Give him a choice: your rules or jail. He may be safer in jail than in that girl's house. But let him decide. Its then up to him. He has the power to decide, but he also has to try and he has to respect you. Rehab is not magic. It requires hard work. He isn't showing an interest in hard work. He doesn't have to quit. He can do whatever he wants. You don't want him going to rehab with this girl on the brain and thinking he doesn't have to follow the rules. Just one suggestion. [/QUOTE]
