Does anyone know of a guide rehabilitation Guide for Parents?
I was hoping to find some form of a book that helps guide an adult child while his father is in rehab. Sort of what to expect when your child is in rehab type of thing. Of Suggestions? FYI this is for my aunt, whose son, aged over 30 years at the time of collection divorced his wife, abandoned her child and decided to drugs. The county has placed in rehabilitation center and has received much love.
I recommend going to the website of Al-Anon and purchase some leaflets / materials to help understand his (or her) role and what to expect. Al-Anon is a great organization IMO.
My brother, age 18 is in rebellion (flight, spend the night outside a drink and drugs, overuse of silver, etc.) and my parents do not know how to discipline him. My father wants to leave the house carrying his car and cell phone (paid). My mother wants him to stay b / c otherwise leave the university to give life to your account. They come back and do learn the hard way, or give other opportunity in the hope that if they push hard enough, actually have a degree? It's a good guy with a good heart, but not very independent and motivated. I want succeed, but there are so many that I can do as her older sister. He does not listen …
Just stop conference and invited him to do some activities family or something. Rebellious teenagers usually hearing conference will not come home [moms long or short term] and MAD / parents. You are an older sister and you know how much his heart is good, but not listening to you. I think it's their job to listen. Tell him if he ever needs someone to listen, you will be leaving only that. Always be nice <3 And it will not hurt to smile. Begin to feel a closeness to earlier or later if you do. =)
