[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 516096, member: 11001"] Hello and welcome. None of us thought we would be doing this. Here we are, all huddled in the same corner! You have been given some good advice. May I suggest you and your wife find a Families Anonymous or other 12 step program. I have found some support at FA. It is so difficult to get ourselves out of the enabling mode. We love these kids. They don;t want to be as sick as they are. Once they are, it is a tough road home, slips, slides and relapses. They kill our hearts and spirits and we have to go searching for ourselves in all this. Some of what we do as parents makes it worse for addicts. I am amazed at each meeting what hits me and what I learn. I don't know anything about K2, my experience is with marijuana and a sexual addiction. Addiction is addiction and, the behaviors seem to be universal. They are often compounded by mental illness which just makes the recovery process very difficult. I think you should stick to your guns about your home. You can help him find a rehab. if he will allow this. It sometimes takes homelessness to get them to these places and to get help. I don't know if I will be able to do it-but it seems to be the only thing that works if you read on this board. Keep us posted and know this is a good place to come and get ideas, support and to vent...we get it. [/QUOTE]
