[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 723023, member: 15032"] Molly Hang in there. I agree he should not be coming home. Does he also have any type of diagnosis? Drugs are bad enough but on top of a mental issue can be worse. My son started this at 15 and now at 22 we finally see him actually putting some work into changing. This only came at the placement of a faith based long term program. We forced it but now he is starting to see that it will help him. Nothing, and I mean nothing.else.worked. Hang on tight, it's a long road and it's a roller coaster. I would not let him come home until he has completed a long term program and you see a big change....if ever. My son never did well at home. Your son is still very young but the sooner you get tough, the better for all. I think that educating yourself on his addiction and anything else he has going on is excellent advice. You need outside help to create firm but loving boundaries. I know that I did. This is NOT normal parenting by a long shot. It's good that you have your spouse also that you can lean on. This is tough stuff. You must take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
