Hello...I'm new to the site. We've got a 22 yr old son coming home from his sober living facility in 2 weeks. I was reading the chat on this subject earlier..b4 I joined..and now I can't find my way back to it. Can anyone suggest a group or forum or blog that I can reach out to for help in setting boundaries and expectations?

Thanks to all

Anna

Have you ever tried Nar-Anon or Al-Anon??
It could really help.
Learn to not enable, only support their wellness.
It's not easy, but it's worth it, and it may be the only way they'll learn and get better.

I did got to many naranon meetings when my wife was recovering. I have started back but plan on it. Where do the days go. It seems my son just started his 28 days + 4 weeks in an SL house yesterday. And, now he's coming home to live with my ex....who was identified in the family counseling sessions as the "Hero"...always wanting to "do for" and please. Setting sufficient boundaries for my son..while in her house...is a tough road. Not sure which way to turn.

What about someone from his rehab. They would what to expect

we've reached out for 2 weeks to his IOP counselor...for insight and guidance...no response...we feel he's treating this as a "plan" between him and our son...tough to swallow. We want to make sure we don't make mistakes and send him backwards as much as we need to know the difference between enabling and support.
