[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 550933, member: 59"] Welcome Kim. I have a 21 year old daughter who I had to ask to leave our home because of her drinking and drug use. She was in a sixty day residential drug treatment program two years ago and we learned so many things, including that heroin is very hard to get off and switching to prescription drugs is very common. You son needs drug treatment and you may have to draw the line in the sand at some point and tell him if he wants to continue living with you he needs to go into treatment. I also look back and wonder how I didn't know earlier how bad it was but I didn't have any outside support or anyone to talk to until I found a parent support group. I have been a member of this board for many years because we have had various problems with our daughter over the years, but just recently we started the Substance Abuse Forum and it has been a life saver for me. Now that my difficult child is out of the house I can never again go back to the days when she made our lives miserable with her substance abuse. It was by far the hardest thing I ever had to do but we could no longer help her. I hope you find a support group to talk to. Your son needs help but you did not cause it, you can't control it and you can't cure it. We live one day at a time and if it were not for my support groups I don;t know what I would do.
