[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 615288, member: 59"] Welcome J. We had to call the police on our daughter many times between the ages of 14-19. She was in court several times for delinquency, underage drinking, drug use, shoplifting, etc. We decided we were going to lose her if we didn't do something drastic. She went to rehab for 60 days, IOP for six weeks and relapsed. Kicked her out of the hosue and she lived with a heroin addict neighbor kid for six weeks until she begged to come home. We said no and told her to find a sober house which she did. She stayed there six months and has now been living on her own for two years and now with her boyfriend and his 5 year old daughter. She no longer uses drugs but does drink, which is a slippery slope but so far has managed to keep her job and be very responsible. Everyone has to do what they feel is necessary to save their child. Heroin is a horrible addiction. My daughter has lost over six friends she was in rehab with who all died from a heroin overdose, one on Christmas Eve two years ago. She just told me today that she is very grateful she never did heroin and realizes she would probably be dead now. Whatever you decide to do make sure you and your wife are on the same page. Our difficult children can bring us to our knees and destroy a marriage and family quickly. It's important that your son knows you are in agreement and support each other. This is a difficult time of year for those struggling with addiction. Try to find a support group in your area. If you don't feel comfortable with NA try Families Anonymous. Our FA group is awesome, we even laugh in our meetings. I'm gladyou found this group, we know what you are going through and we are all here to listen and help support you. [/QUOTE]
