[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 452332, member: 84"] ((((hugs))))) You've done all you can to help him. You can't "help" with the monster that is addiction. This he has to do alone. He has to make the decision and make the changes. It's horrible, but it is what it is. With addiction you have to carefully think through anything you may want to do to "help" to look for ways this could be enabling him to continue the behavior. It's hard, it's frustrating, and it's painful to watch. Learning to detach from the situation helps as you learn to refocus on yourself and your life in general. It doesn't mean you don't love him and don't care, it just means you're not allowing his choices to destroy you or your life along with his. It's a process of learning how to shift gears from child parenting to adult parenting. If it were me, he'd be facing charges for the credit card. It's hard to take it all in at first. Harder still to realize how addiction alters their world so totally. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
