[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 694231, member: 20267"] Keep in mind that you are not required to do ANYTHING for him until he is ready and willing to do :censored2: for himself. Naturally, you are exhausted. How could you NOT be? I remember my aunt saying that she is tired of the negative consequences of drug abuse. I told her it must be worse for her, since she didn't even get to enjoy the narcotics. Addiction effects everybody. And the closer you are to an addict, the stronger those effects become. What makes our actions so selfish is exactly that. It isn't possible to avoiding hurting our loved ones while in active addiction. And we know it. But we do it anyway. It is the most unfair, selfish behavior a person could take. And it is the thing addicts are most sorry for when and if they finally pull their head out of their ass. I know that me apologizing to you for your son's actions doesn't actually mean much, but I will say it as a generality; I am sorry. I am just as guilty of all these things your son is. I am no better, and I hurt my loved ones as much as he hurts you. So, I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
