[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 594609, member: 13558"] My son was born a difficult child and started using early. After a nightmare of his teen years (during which he was court ordered rehab twice) he left my house. I have had him in every program I could afford. Fast forwad to about age 30 (him) and he was finally clean and sober for about 1 to 2 years - I actually began to trust and look forward to his phone calls. The he and girlfriend from h*** started using again and he is worse than ever in my opinion. He reverted back to the lies, schemes for money etc. I am retired and I finally have just had all I can take. I refuse to give him money after spending a lot to get him resettled after girlie came after him with a knife and she was sent to detox and he Baker Act himself. I had to call the police to stop her harrassment. Thank God they live in another state. I begged, pleaded, and gave phone numbers to mine to get help, nothing done. It is so hard to watch them self destruct, I've been there, actually still am there. The hard facts are there is nothing you can do to make him get help. If you can afford it counseling helps, learn to detach and turn it over to your HP. All very hard to do! My difficult child has gone NC with me since November, he has slipped off the face of the earth, NC with anyone I know. It's very hard to accept, but he can call collect, and everything he does is his choice. The girl is very spiteful and he is a follower so she influences him a lot, but, it is still his choice. When they know that THEY have to take care of THEM, it is amazing what they can do. (((huggs and blessings for peace))) [/QUOTE]
