[QUOTE="standswithcourage, post: 270596, member: 3948"] Oh your story sounds like I wrote it. My son is 25 and is the same way. We asked him to leave for the same reason. He was also a pill addict to. He is living - surviving - in an abandoned trailer in the town - close by - that we used to live in. We do buy him food and will help him if he needs it but we do not give him money. We told him the other day we would help him get the help he needs - rehab, etc. and he said "Mom dont bother me about that right now". Well he is looking at going back to jail for violation of a magastrate pot possession charge - which will only land him 30 days at the most. He has been in jail, etc. many times. We have put him in rehabs, etc. I do miss him. I miss the smile. I miss his fishing stories because he loved to fish. He just cant live here. It is not good for anyone. Yes - it does give them a safe and comfy place to get high. It does feel like the tough love thing would just make them worse - but how can we allow them to use drugs under our roof when they think it is ok and we dont - how can we allow them to do that and not get the help they need? We cant unless we want to enable them forever - it is hard I know - I am doing the same thing you are right now. I hate it and it is scary. I pray a lot. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
