[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 620160, member: 15801"] Hugs to you. I am glad he was caught and will be in rehab for 60 days. That is a good thing. The courts, as flawed as they are, can be helpful I think with those that are young Hopefully they have some kind of drug court there that he will have to answer to..... much better that the court set the limits and rules than you! At least that is my experience. I am thankful at this point that my son spent some time in jail and has it hanging over his head. It takes the responsibility off me and lets me just be his mom and love him. Your anger is good I think. when I have had that "I am done" feeling it fuels me to be strong and not enable him. If you are anything like me when he is remorseful ,or really hurting, or really trying to help himself you wont feel done anymore. Because of course we are never really done. But you can be done with enabling him, with trying to protect him from himself and the system, with trying to control his drug use. Now is the time to get some much needed sleep... he is not in your home and he is not on the streets. Stay strong and keep coming here for support. Many of us have been there.
