[QUOTE="DDD, post: 130115, member: 35"] Two years ago maybe you could get him into a program and he could have "saved face" before getting so submerged into the addiction culture. It is too late now. Now...he has to step up to the plate when he is ready. I do NOT mean to indicate that you blew it. My easy child/difficult child never talked back to me or showed defiance. (He did HIS thing quietly & politely.) I found a program and told him he was going. He went. He was kicked out and I found a better program, told him he was going AND had his PO tell him that if he didn't "work the program" and got kicked out he would be violated and sent to a Department of Juvenile Justice program. When I got the call that he was kicked out of the 2nd private program I cried so hard that I tossed my cookies. I called the PO and they issued a warrant for him. All of that was done firmly and with love and without confrontation. It did NOT solve the addiction problem. Sometimes you do every single thing "right" and it still ends up wrong. Eventually, life will straighten him up. Stay strong. DDD [/QUOTE]
