1. He does not want my help, He says he is not ready to give up
2. We have to think of our other kids
3. I NOW want him out because of above
4. My wife does NOT want him out
Any suggestions would help
Thanks

thats a sore one mate ,if you have tried everything in your powers to help ,and i would personally do ,is ask him to leave ,yes its probaly the hardest thing you would have to do ,then its the unknown ,were is he ,whats he doing etc , its a wicked circle ,but again if he stayed ,what about the other children ,youre trying to protect them ,which is your priority,to safe guard your family ,and then theres your wife ,who doesnt want the boy to leave ,thats understandable ,a mothers love , hard thing to break mate ,cos god forbid if you did put him out and something gave , you are the guilty one in your wifes eyes ,you and your wife are probaly at each others throat at present as we talk ,i would go to a counseller and have an expert opinion mate ,and if you could get your son to go aswell ,im sorry i cant help you ,but i do hope you get to see someone proffesionally that might have to be the road you have to go down, apoligies
