[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 704411, member: 15801"] Copa....Yes part of it is accepting you have no control and no real influence. That is hard to accept but is the truth and I think I have mostly gotten to that place. I know at different times my son being on the streets has gotten him to rehab.... but that hasn't worked. The one time rehab seemed to really do some good is when the decision to go was totally his. So I will not be surprised if he ends up at rehab some time again at this point it will be when he really decides to go. I am done trying to push him into going. So for now we are sitting tight and waiting and are not pushing anything as long as he is reasonable to us and is not doing anything illegal. However he is isolating, spending most of his time in his room and is clearly depressed. My guess is he is drinking in his room. So how long do we just let that continue? We are not sure. Our hope is that at some point he will decide something needs to change. Right now for now I am trying to let him know we are here for him. I know he is depressed and putting him on the street again won't help that. [/QUOTE]
