[QUOTE="PatriotsGirl, post: 526508"] Welcome. So sorry you had to find us, but this is a great site, isn't it? You absolutely, positively did the right thing. You both know that. And yes, it hurts like the dickens!!! But, sometimes the best things we do for our children are the hardest to do. What motivation would he have to change anything? He has life by the you know what living there at home during the week and partyng on the weekends. My difficult child lived very similar when she was here only sometimes she wasn't here during the week either. We were her crash pad and food source. And while she was here, she treated everyone like dirt. Her needs and wants were the only ones that mattered. My difficult child is a drug addict. She was back home for just a month when I found a meth pipe in her room. I then gave her the choice to go to rehab if she wanted to live at home. She made the choice to not live at home. She was 17, a legal adult in our state. We provide nothing but her cell phone. It doesn't cost us anything and it is the one thing that lets me know she is still alive. I, too, have a son that is turning 15 this year. Knowing he was right across the hall from a meth pipe solidified my decision. I can't say it worked to straighten her out, yet. She is very much in the throes of addiction right now and to be blunt, her life HOOVERS. But there is nothing I can do about it but offer her another choice. I offer rehab. Anytime she is ready. But I cannot offer her my home... (((HUGS))) and let husband know you both did the absolute right thing. [/QUOTE]
