[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 673649, member: 19522"] Well, it is kind of evident by this, that your son has come to expect your help when he cries crazy, or mentally ill. Don't let him fool you. Drug addicts lie and steal and manipulate. My daughter is in the same boat. She has gone up and down, in, out and sideways around the drug discussion. Hangs out with people who do meth, but insists she doesn't. All lies. We have a neighbor up the road who has been on it for years. I recently saw his poor wife, who has tried everything. She now fears what he will do if she tries to kick him out. He is increasingly violent. Rides up and down the road on his moped at all hours. My daughter says what a nice guy he is, and that he is not on meth, he has stomach cancer. All lies. Your son may or may not have a mental illness, but his number one big problem is heroin use, that is a bad monkey on anyones back. Stay strong Quicksand, he will not be happy with your stance, and will try all sorts of tactics to get you back under his spell. Addicts are master manipulators. It is good to have a list handy, or to practice what you are going to say, on the phone. Keeping it short, is best. No sense arguing, or getting drawn into the drama. There is an article in the P.E. forum that is about loving detachment, it is helpful. Article on detachment [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/[/URL] I read through it a lot to help me stand firm. Keep your chin up, Quicksand, it will be okay. Take it one day at a time, and make sure to do something to build yourself up. This is all very stressful and tiring. Hang in there, you are not alone.
