[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 494451, member: 1967"] Hello and welcome to the CD board. I'm sorry that you are having such a difficult time. I am going to echo what TL said . . . it's time to let your son hit rock bottom. I know that is much easier said than done and it may take a while for you to get to the point where you can let him do that. However, giving your son a place to stay enables his drug use. Why change if he doesn't have to? There has to be a tipping point where it is better to seek treatment than continue living a life using drugs. Letting them hit rock bottom often proves to be the tipping point. More will come by with words of advice. In the meantime, go back and read our threads here and in the PE forum. Many of us have gone through what you are going through and come out the other side. It is possible for your difficult child to turn his life around. Just look at your daughter as an example of that. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
