[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 244228, member: 1550"] Susan, if he drank while on Seroquel the Seroquel didn't almost kill him. His own stupidity did because drinking with any medication can kill you. Can't blame the doctors who prescribed a legitimate drug, not knowing he'd go out and probably drink A LOT of alcohol. Also, if you have bills to pay and you're still paying for your son and driving him around, well, he isn't learning anything. He CAN'T hold a job while he's still running around looking for Xanax. I would NOT help him do this. Xanax is widely abused...sounds like he could be addicted to it. It doesn't take long to get addicted to it if you take large quantities. I can't stress enough that YOU CAN NOT HELP HIM. You haven't helped him so far. Here I thought you were doing better. You're going to beggar yourself, and nothing will change. Nothing HAS changed except he is more manipulative than ever. His drug use hasn't waned at all. You do need to detach. That's NOT stopping your love. That is stopping your enabling of his behavior. If he wants to self-destruct you don't need to be a part of his sad journey by driving him around, handing him money (that he will use for drugs rather than his stated purpose) or paying for "treatment" that he has no intention of following.
