[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 648382, member: 16643"] You're so right MWM and 2much. I even told her she is enabling him but she refuses to give up on him. She thinks he used 3x in her home yesterday. She's a college student and has a heart of gold. She can't bring herself to stop talking to him because she doesn't want him to feel hopeless. But she did break up with him and he wouldn't leave until she said there's a chance they could work things out. H'e so manipulative & persistent. I told her all we can do for him is encourage him to get help, rehab is the only answer and he has to want it. My husband and I getting stronger because we are finally learning. Hubby actually said to him, we will not enable you son. That shut him up fast (using his words). He once told me that I was an enabler (this is when he was clean and sober). So hubby, told him, remember you even told us were enablers. At this point, we are just encouraging him to go to a live-in treatment center and work on his issues. He told us last night, if he can't quit in 3 days (he will get tested), then he will check himself into rehab. We told him let's go now, it's obvious you can't get clean on your own. But he refused. Thank you all for being there for me. I am broken. [/QUOTE]
