[QUOTE="DDD, post: 516050, member: 35"] Welcome, idunno. You have stumbled accross a wonderful site where, sadly, we have all been there done that OR are still there and doing that. Sigh! My post won't be too long because I have a "bug" that is morphing my personality into an unpleasant human being. on the other hand I wanted to reach out tonight. It sounds like you and your wife may not be on the same page. Although I can 100% relate to your sadness, shock and dismay that your precious son has turned into an addict you and your wife have to get on the same page to present a united front. Your son (all of our sons and daughters) needs to know that the two of you agree on boundaries. Many of our family members have drawn the line at violence. Others have decided they won't tolerate stealing. The "bottom line" varies from family to family but the one thing that doesn't vary is the need to have a united front. Otherwise he'll be playing one against the other. Our kids are "players". They can turn it on or turn it off. They are manipulators. Make every effort to get on the same page with the same line in the sand. As we used to say in the South years ago"may God strike me dead if I'm lying" :) most of us would volunteer to be run over by a Mack truck to save our loved addicts. That is not an option. Our addicts have to grab the reins and learn to own their choices. We all cry behind closed doors but we have to draw the line. Sending caring thoughts to you and your wife and your son. DDD [/QUOTE]
