[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 747332, member: 15032"] Exhausted. Welcome and I'm so sorry that you have to be here. From what I'm reading and from my own experience, your son has a serious drug problem. I suggest you read the "substance abuse" forum here where you will read many, many stories like yours - including my own. More will be along to offer you wisdom and support. You ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING by evicting him. You have been his victim for long enough and it's actually enabling his disease of addiction to continue by providing him with food and shelter. For them to change they have to get REAL UNCOMFORTABLE or they do NOT change. In the meantime, I suggest some type of support for yourself. I went to a private therapist that specialized in addiction. She helped me to form firm but loving boundaries. He wasn't going to change so I had to change. [/QUOTE]
