[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 684155, member: 20051"] Has your husband communicated the "1 year rule" to him? If so, I would reiterate that and stick to it. I have a 1 year rule with my sister. She needs to have a year of active sobriety before we will even discuss her seeing the kids. We have made it clear that sobriety means not only not using, but actively working a program. Just so that she doesn't confuse not using because she is in prison with being sober LOL. Each time she starts discussing seeing the kids I just reiterate the "1 year rule." If your son has heard this rule or plan before I would just reiterate it to him. "You know we discussed 1 year of sobriety and employment. When you meet that goal we will discuss it." If he hasn't and this is just something you and your husband discussed I would just keep putting him off. "Let's not put that pressure on you right now, let's take this one day at a time, like we are supposed to. We can cross that bridge when we come to it." Hopefully, by that time he is sober and prefers to be independent. [/QUOTE]
