[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 561246, member: 1550"] That's the sad sickness of addiction, but only he can get himself off of drugs and on track. I have one son, age 35, who isn't a drug addict (although sometimes I do think he drinks too much, but he's home most of the time so I know where he is.) He rarely called me when he was married and stable. Now that his wife ran off with somebody else and he's afraid every day that his son won't like him as much as he likes her new honey (yes, he really does ruminate over this), I hear from him sometimes three times a day. He doesn't ask for money because he knows we don't have any lol, but he does ask his father to help out with, say, legal fees and child support although he is gainfully employed. He says he's broke because of the divorce. I realize this doesn't sound as dire as your situation, and it probably isn't, but I do understand how annoying it is for a grown man, my child, to be unable to take care of himself the way most 35 year olds can. And I also know how it feels to only hear from that adult child when he is needy. I have no answers, but I did want to offer...my empathy. [/QUOTE]
