[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 329367, member: 1550"] Hi there and welcome, but sorry you had to come here. :knockedout: How old is your son right now? in my opinion, having had a daughter who substance abused, if he is close to 18, your husband is probably doing the only thing he can do to make it through each day. Is there a "Tough Love" group in your area? You may want to look into it. Narc-Anon is another really good group. Al-Anon would work just as well. You need real time support from those who have been there. Right now, taking his medications is irrelevant because if he is using recreational drugs and drinking they not only will be rendered useless by the other drugs...they could actually be dangerous mixed up with whatever drugs he is using at the moment. At his age, I doubt you can make him do anything and it's appalling that the police won't help you try to get him at least off the streets. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I know first hand that it isn't any fun and how hopeless you feel. We made daughter leave at eighteen. She did stop substance abusing. [/QUOTE]
