[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 540697, member: 59"] Broken welcome to our board. I am very sorry for what you are going through. Please remember that it is the drug talking. My difficult child said awful, horrible thing to me, called me all sorts of names and told everyone I was psychotic. The only ones who believed her were her druggie friends. Everyone else knew the real story. You may just have to wait until he gets arrested for something and ask the court through his public defender to order him into treatment. Then it is the court ordering him and not you. Your son needs to be detoxed. I would not worry about breaking a promise to him. If there is any way to get him help you should do it. He may hate you now but if he is dead because of these drugs you will hate yourself for not doing it. I am reminded of Carol O'Connor saying "get between your kids and drugs any way you can." My daughter hated us for calling the police on her. She would say "what kind of parents call the cops on their kid." We told her that parents who love their children and want them to get help do that. You are going to have to be very strong in the coming months. This is not easy and you will worry that you are doing the wrong thing or that he will hate you. You are trying to keep him alive, remember that. Get yourself to an al-anon or parents support group of FA (families anonymous) meeting so that you will get some support for yourself. And keep posting here. We have all been through it and we care.
