[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 538252, member: 13882"] You and your wife have done everything possible to help. Most people on this forum have/are going through exactly what you are experiencing. Unfortunately, drugs are clouding his ability to think rationally, and unless he experiences something like a "bottom" nothing will change. It was excellent of you to offer rehab, support and love instead of bail and lawyer fees. It's so hard, though, but you're doing the right thing. He may change. He may not change. You can hope, pray, have faith, but you can't control. You can only offer rehab, support for positive choices and love. You have a right to exercise your boundaries, and he will learn that you have the right to choose whom you allow in your life at this point. You can always find support and encouragement here. I'm sorry for your pain. [/QUOTE]
