[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 721258, member: 17720"] I'm sorry, LBL. I don't fully understand the criteria for qualifying for rehab in Canada, but if he is "pre-contemplative" and is not likely to qualify, then I don't see him moving toward serious consideration as long as he has it so good at home. I don't say that to be harsh, but seriously...why on earth would he ever think he needs rehab? This certainly isn't good for you or husband. I can't even imagine the pressure cooker you've been in these past months. It sounds like the best thing for all is for son to start facing the music. But it's easy for me to talk tough; he's not my son. I can understand your husband's feelings too. When we see our precious children in the grips of addiction, we fear that we may be the last thing standing between them and the addiction taking complete control, maybe even permanently. My husband and I were at odds many times over this issue, with each of us switching roles several times. I think the single most important thing is for you and husband to come to an agreement as to how to move forward. In my opinion, it sounds like son has a lot of things to get out of his system, and the two of you being in limbo or at odds is not going to work in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
