[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 130207, member: 3626"] Interventions are wonderful IF everyone is on the same page. McdWeedy already knows both you and wife will draw the line in the sand one minute and then erase it the next. I really doubt an intervention would work. The only way you're getting him into rehab at this point would be with escorts and I truly doubt any of the services would do it for an 18 YO -- the legal ramifications are just too high for them. Something like a kidnapping charge could too easily follow. I really wish there was something you guys could do but I can't imagine what it is at this point. Maybe when McWeedy has to go to court get the judge to order a program which you would be willing to pay for. However, you better have the name of the program and proof positive that they will take him and there's a bed available before presenting the idea to a judge. This is probably the only "safe" option left now that he's legally an adult. The other option is to simply let him spiral until he hits rock bottom and asks for help. I'm not convinced either of you could do this. It is truly hard and painful to see your beloved child become homeless, living in filth, using drugs to aleviate the pain. For McWeedy this will more than likely take a few years to get that point because of his charm and long list of friends. It happens a bit more quickly when the kid isn't good at conning others into helping him. [/QUOTE]
