[QUOTE="saving grace, post: 86554, member: 1538"] Mikey this is not my usual approach and I will apologize upfront if I offend you or anyone else but as I read your posts I got increasingly angry and confused. 3 years ago I went through the same thing that you are, I tried everything, every approach, every thing I could think of to talk him out of it, to change him, to make him see the light. I even kicked him out convinced that a night on the street would make him see what he was like and he would come beggin for a place to stay swearing he would change. Didnt happen Mikey, nope he got worse, everything I did came back and slapped me in the face. Heres my 2 cents. Let him go! NOW, what the heck is he waiting for. wife is looking at this with blinders on, she is enabling him. He will NOT grow out of it. If he is going to OD or have an asthma attack he will have it, SHE can not save his life. He is not willing to change, he does not want your help he does not deserve to lay his head down on a pillow in your home safe and warm and fed while treating his privilage this way. Who the H*** does he think he is?? He is walking all over your family, and your letting him. I have been there. My son returned to my doorstep beaten, in his boxers and a tshirt, strungout and sick and smelling of urine asking for help, that is when I let him take a shower, fed him and let him sleep while I called detoxes, I woke him up and drove him there and dropped him off. He has been here ever since. That was a year ago, he relapsed a few months after being here, I gave him a choice, he chose a program and has been in this program since Februray used in June only once and has been clean ever since. I dont believe in "rock bottom" but your son is a brat, he knows that he can do and say whatever he wants and get away with it. give me a break he was told he has to leave but not until December?? Get Out now if you think you can do better on your own. He doesnt know how good he has it. Your wife needs to take her blinders off. She is not helping him she is killing him. SOrry Grace [/QUOTE]
