[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 759281, member: 16024"] Hi Trying! If your son is not willing to invest $3000 into his own recovery, he isn’t seriously interested in sobriety. It sounds like he is actually using rehab as a way to manipulate you and your hubby into giving in to his demands for money (in the form of getting you to bail him out of apartment leases he no longer wants to be obligated to or paying some of his bills). He is putting way too much of his time and effort into holding you hostage with his addictions. It almost sounds like, if he didn’t have any addictions, he is afraid he wouldn’t be able to control you. It might be time to end this dysfunctional situation you have gotten enmeshed in. Maybe, if you stop playing your role in this destructive dance, he will eventually stop playing his. [/QUOTE]
