[QUOTE="AHF, post: 491945, member: 11180"] Oh, sure, they will keep him. But the cost is much, much higher than a regular sober house. And I would support his being in a regular sober house, but that's my point--I don't want to drop this bombshell on the day the next payment is due, because he will just go into victim mode and they will be faced with putting a completely dysfunctional young man on the street or tossing him into the hospital (which may well simply toss him back out). It is AWFUL having a poker-addict difficult child--he ups the ante, gauges his odds, bets on my compassion for him. [/QUOTE]
