[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 160578, member: 1963"] You need to realize something else as well: living in IL means that the authorities can seize your house if there are drugs found in it, or if a drug dealer is living in it. It's a rough decision to make; but it is one you HAVE to make for the safety and security of the rest of your family. You can't "fix" an addict. They have to want to fix themselves, and anything other than putting them out and letting them hit their personal rock bottom is actually enabling them to continue living the addict lifestyle. I'm not sure if anyone else recommended this, but you really need to check into Narc-anon or Al-anon, which are groups aimed at helping/supporting family members of addicts. hth ToK [/QUOTE]
