[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 684014, member: 1550"] I did not really believe my daughter would stay clean until she had been for two years, had a job, and was getting her own loan for college. She never wanted to live with us again...she had a job and didnt have to. As for your son, sadly relapse is common. A few months in my opinion is not enough to know if he will make it. Why do you feel that he should be allowed to live with you again? That is you and your husbands decision. And hopefully son will get a job and change his mind...want to be independent. I do hope your son gets clean and decides to stay on his own and be an adult. You have done a lot for him. You no longer need to have him live with you. Very often once grown kids go back to living with their parents,they become more childlike and dependent again. Make your decision about if and when son can return together (you and his father) and be mindful of younger kids you may have at home too. No reason to stress over it now. Make no promises. Give NO answer now or anytime soon. "We will see" works. Think. Time is your friend :). But in the end in my opinion if your husbans says no, its no. Your son is 23. Your marriage should not be threatened by a grown child, again in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
