[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 683932, member: 18958"] All of this can be one hundred percent so, and he can still in an instant decide to do drugs anyway. That is the nature of addiction, the illogic of it, the fact that he will act against his will, his own interests, his health in favor of the drug. You as parents, while not responsible for his choices, have every right to ally with the part of him that is responsible, with oversight, with boundaries. I would think that telling him the truth might be a good thing: We want to limit the interference with your treatment. A short visit meets best with our needs. This is not a normal time. Not a normal visit. He is in drug treatment because he is a drug addict. That is the elephant in the room. [/QUOTE]
