[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 136794, member: 3647"] Hi IKP, Let me just tell you (from your son's viewpoint) that addicts are [I]professional[/I] victims. I was addicted to drugs for a long time, and let me tell you, if I put half the effort in getting a job as I put into trying to manipulate people into feeling sorry for me, I might have been a productive member of society. It is all part of the addiction. His addiction is a disease, and when he hits bottom, he will seek help. I encourage you to go to Al-Anon. It deals with detaching from the addict (who will try to lay the guilt trip and fanagle his way back into the home time and time again) and YOU need to take care of YOU. Gentle hugs. I know that this is not easy. [/QUOTE]
