[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 744136, member: 15801"] My son is like this also.....The relationship is like a drug too. And he also gets obsessive with the constant texting etc. I have really come to believe that we can’t really make them hit bottom..... there is no point in trying to get them to hit it sooner. Yes it is important not to enable them to drink so dont give them money to buy booze or help them drink or drug. But the best way for them to find their way to recovery is to also know they are loved and cared for because they feel horrible about themselves so I suggest you continue to let him know you love him...... no need to reject him or turn your back on him. Have as much or as little contact with him that is good for you. At this point your guiding light is how you feel and what is good for you.....he needs to find his own way and you need to take care of yourself. Do what you can to find things in your life that fulfill you and make you happy and enjoy life. This is probably going to continue for a while..... so buckle up for a long ride and take care of you.
