[QUOTE="DDD, post: 502305, member: 35"] I have no words of wisdom, LMS. Of course I had hoped for the treatment option naively hoping that he would have time for introspection, awareness and support. on the other hand, like you, I do know that the motivation truly has to come from the addict and can't be induced by others. It's taken alot of years to accept that as I wish it were not true. The experts say that emotional growth stops once addiction enters a teens life. They have so much catching up to do as young adults and it's stressful and tiresome to focus on each baby step toward maturity and self determination. It sounds as though his wife is a sweet and sensitive girl but it also sounds like she is quite immature also. Yikes...how many of us would even consider taking a four year old to a prison? Maybe in a novel but not in real life. I'm hoping that this year will somehow turn on the "lightbulb" for them both and they each can begin to think and act more like dependable young adults. Meanwhile my most sincere hope and prayer is that you will be able to focus on your independent life and find a new sense of joy in living. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
