[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 526135, member: 11001"] Skippy, It is common for parents to have differences when it comes to raising their kids. Our kids with emotional problems and addictions really know how to work the wedge in. Your son needs treatment. Letting him hit rock bottom is one way. Another way is to hire an interventionist. You may have to be willing to find an inpatient treatment. I just finished reading the book [U][B]Love First. [/B][/U]The website is [URL]http://lovefirst.net/wpt/[/URL] I am preparing for the day when our daughter hits 18 and may still need intensive treatment. (Ours has told us she is a monster and nothing works to help her as well) While the authors believe in 12 steps and have a strong belief in not enabling, they also believe that we need to raise the bottom for our addicted children before they make the kind of mistakes that make recovery and a decent life impossible.
