[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 224697, member: 3948"] I so understand what you are saying. We did the same for our son. It is so hard. I go to Alanon every Monday. I love the people that are there and it has saved my sanity. My son is living with another family of the black race. Anyway it was a long story and he landed a landscaping job with the family when he was out of work and basically on the street. They allowed him to live there while he worked with them. The man has had a drug problem and has been in jail, etc. he seemed to be trying to clean his act up. My son has had to pay them rent , buy his food and pay for somet things he never did at home - it has been so hard for me. I feel guilty that it has come to this but he has over the years destroyed our home, things have been stolen form his brother, he threatend us, had friends over while we were not here we didnt approve of - couldnt hold a job - right now he got his old job back - his boss is a saint - I still feel bad sometimes and wonder if we did the right thing but then I think back to the 12steps and know that we couldnt let him continue to destroy himself under our roof and destroy our household any longer. He is 25 now and has been using since he was about 15. I fear for his life and what will happen to me when something happens to him - I lean on my Higher Power for support and strength and I claim victory. I know how you feel. Hang in there. Keep coming back. [/QUOTE]
