[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 418800, member: 97"] grace, this will not stop until you say "ENOUGH". try to watch some of those Intervention shows on TV to show you how to do this. The last one I watched, a family told a mom that if she did not stop helping her drug addicted daughter, they would not only cut out the daughter but would cut out Mom as well because this is too hard to watch. Nothing helped my son stop his path but I sure felt better when I stopped being dragged along his trail. I will never let him live with me again and he knows it. yep he was homeless more than a time or two and also incarcerated. His choices led to that, try to remember that he will only get better when you are not his safety net. IF he doesnt get better, at least you will not be a victim in your own home. you have to be firm. no sense in him living there for weeks to pack etc. this weekend, get him on his way. he is disrespectful to you, and not making any effort to help himself. You will die long before he does from the stress. Hugs. I still remember the two books that helped me to stop obsessing over my son and stop letting him in and out like a revolving door: Boundaries by Townsend and Cloud Codependent No More by melody Beattie [/QUOTE]
