[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 659308, member: 15801"] I am sorry you are going through this.... it is awful to go through this and I have been through it several times. I agree dont let him live with you, it is easier in a way to not have him living there and his use in your face all the time. You need to take care of you and the rest of your family. Copa is right thing about what your stand is going to be.... with my son we did tough love and let him be homeless and it was awful for us, but we always took the stand we would help when he was willing to help himself but we would not help him self destruct. So there were times when he was not in treatment, and on the street, and when he got tired of that he would agree to treatment. I have gotten to a place now where I realize this really is his journey, it is not mine. I cant dictate what his path looks like.... so again as long as he is doing positive things and going in the right direction I am willing to help (to a point). He is doing things his own way now, but he is working, paying his rent, and taking a lot of positive steps.... I am seeing progress even thought it is not totally in the form I had wished for. Hugs for you. [/QUOTE]
