[QUOTE="joysheph, post: 708449, member: 21496"] The guilt and enabling my adult son is getting the best of me. The only strength I have left is to ignore the calls, ignore the promises, ignore the begging. I just can't face my son when he has told me he wants to be drug free and mentally stable but if I will let him come home. I now except it's all everything I want to hear. He has to hit rock bottom and I have to turn the cheek and not give in. It's just hard to witness. I don't believe that he wants treatment I believe he wants to come home to get high in a safe place. I just can't handle my 28 y/o son who does nothing to contribute to the home. Who don't appreciate what we do for him. I seen him walking today and I ignored him and kept driving.I hate the way it makes me feel inside to just keep driving forward. If he would just thrive in life. I feel like I'm doing the right thing by letting him choose to be homeless on the streets or choose to accept help from drug treatment and work programs. He thinks those won t work. He has to work and get shelter. I just need advice support. [/QUOTE]
