[QUOTE="pamtidteach, post: 720795, member: 22277"] Hi guys... I really did hope things would be going differently for us, but this is where we are. Youngest child, will be 29 in Nov...successfully hid a drug problem for three years. Finally the stealing money, selling our things and taking his dad's medications (dad has a back problem) got too much and we were done. He enrolled in an outpatient drug program and was still working but I guess he was not as committed as we hoped....dad went to take one of his tramadols because of pain, and they were all gone. Despite the taking him to work, taking him to meetings, feeding him, housing him.... that was it. Dad gave him 24 hours to get out...it is really really hard for me. He has shown no remorse, no real effort to change and this was it. He says he has no plans and I am sure he doesn't. He will have to figure out how to manage his life...what is sad is that he was doing well on his own before all of this. He was the first one out of the house and lived with friends, until he started stealing from them and using payday loans to pay for his habit In my head I know we have to do this... it is my heart that is breaking...I know it is for the best but how do you stop worrying all the time? This is tough! God keeps telling me to trust and I know I need to ...and I will...but wow it is hard. How do you get through it? [/QUOTE]
