[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 737736, member: 15032"] So sorry that you are dealing with this...again...Bluebell My son fancied benzos as well. I hate them with every fiber of my being. I agree. Your son is an addict. He is not ready to change or quit. If you suspect it, it is so. You know these behaviors are not HIM. I think you have to let him suffer the consequences of his drug use. Period. If you make anything easy for him you are only prolonging the disease. He cannot disrespect or threaten either of you or YOUR home. I had to remind myself of that many times. So many times. I agree on car. My son totaled his and luckily walked away and no one was hurt. I know that he has an angel watching over him. The only thing that has helped our son was finding his faith in God. This program has worked. He has been sober for 11 months. He has a clear head for the first time in 7 years. Can he relapse? Hell yes. That is what terrifies me. He will come home in November. A new state and a fresh start. If this doesn't work, nothing will. Please stay strong and get some help for yourself. You need firm boundaries. He needs them too. He's not a baby anymore. My son lost seven years of his life to this disease. Those are forever gone. It is terribly said and the pain is immeasurable for a parent. [/QUOTE]
