[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 728291, member: 19887"] It seems that really the bigger issue is the marriage and not your son. Even though I can see both sides, I would have felt the same way you did. Your son was not using drugs in your home or being rude. I am in the camp that if my children need me I’m there for them within reason. The addiction and dangerous lifestyle part I totally understand distancing from, but in your case I think your son was in a situation that you could justify helping. Once we can’t help our families in times of real need is when I feel we lose part of our humanity. I would do the same for anyone I loved. And I would hope others would do so for me. It sounds like you have two issues. How to best support your son, and how to decide if this marriage is salvageable. Tough spot for you. I hope you find some answers and some peace. [/QUOTE]
