[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 44596, member: 1436"] Mikey---my son got out of jail in Aptil after spending 23 days in lock down because one of his so called "pothead loser" friends stole his grandfathers checks and got difficult child to try to cash one. The "friend" is still living at home with his parents in "denial." My son plead quilty to a felony. Last weekend he met up with another pothead friend and was busted for minor in possession of alcohol. His addiction drives his actions. I have seen him go from "pothead" to xanex user to criminal in less than a year. I never thought it could get worse. We did all we could do. We did the counseling, the pysch hospital, rehab, recovery----Addiction is a terrible, horrible disease. Please maintain your wit and good sense of humour---you will need it in the next few years. Without intervention, your son will continue down his path and self-destruct. But, as most of us here, you are powerless to stop the madness----you can beg, threaten, detach, cry, reward, and sadly, none of it works until they want to change...Self-preservation is the key. Save you and your wife and your younger daughter. Your son will have to save himself at this point. [/QUOTE]
