[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 570488, member: 59"] GB many of us have been in the same dark place you are. I don't remember your story so I will just tell you some things that came to my head to try to give you some home. It sounds like your wife and you are not on the same page, which is most important when dealing with any issue but most important when dealing with substance abuse. Have you talked to any professionals regarding your son's drug use? A doctor, therapist, drug counselor? My suggestion is to find a counselor that you and your wife can talk to so that you can get some advice and hopefully convince your wife of the problem. You need help developing a plan to get your son help. There is help out there but you can't just hope the problem goes away because with substance abuse it won't. My other suggestion is that you find a families anonymous or al-anon group in your area and start going to meetings. If you can't get your wife to go, you go alone. In time you will learn how to detach from your son's abuse and when you change things will change at home. I'm sorry you are in such a dark place right now but we all understand here. Refresh our memories on your story so we can comment further. [/QUOTE]
