i'm about to lose my mind i think. my 41 year old son is a pathetic drunk who has no intention of becoming sober and staying that way. he's been in several rehab programs, the last ending about 2 weeks ago. we were stupid enough to take him back into our home until he found a job and got on his feet. he will never get on his feet - never. in the past 2 weeks he's been found to have been drinking 3 times. he's denied each and every time, but if there is one thing i know about my son it's when he's been drinking. i've encountered it entirely too many times in the past 25 years of his life. we "sold" him our car awhile ago so he would have transportation for work (at that time he was about 6 months sober and we really thought it might work this time) - never got a cent for it as of now. when he put himself back in rehab (he actually drank so he could enter detox and then go to a rehab center!!!!!!) then when he got back out once again we "helped" him. it has to stop NOW!!!!!!! new tires for the car, car insurance, gas for the car and on and on and on. the first time he drank after coming here from the last rehab place i told him, "if you drink again, you will sign the title to the car back to us and you will be out of our home". did that matter to him? NO!!!!!!! it's like i talked to noone and then was made a fool of. he has no conscience. then he gets in the car (after he was drinking) and goes somewhere (i don't know where - he was back in 10 minutes). i sincerely believe he has no brain anymore. he's a chronic liar, and is impossible to be around when he drinks. i am at the point where i want him out of my house - i will pay him to leave. please help me: how do i throw my son out of my house????? right now i don't want to look at him let alone "take care of him". i'm angry, extremely angry, hurt and so very disappointed in him. he has 2 children who are going thru his "in-again, out-again life". please tell me how to follow thru with my original threat: if you drink again you will sign the car back to us and you will get out of our house. please help me!!!!!
