[QUOTE="lovemyson1, post: 685733, member: 16643"] I totally feel your pain. We kicked our son out the day he graduated high school. He had a very nice car that we had bought him. We had warned him his whole senior year if he didn't clean up, he would be out. At the time, we thought it was marijuana. My heart broke for many months after that. Long story short, we brought him back after he cried and said he would change, he did not change, only got worse. Eventually we learned he was using heroin. He was caught stealing, Jail. Tears and more tears. Fast forward, we finally stopped enabling and he is doing extremely well. The sooner you let go the sooner they learn to grow on their own. It is truly the most painful feeling when your child is homeless, truly. But he can sleep on a friends couch, get a job, etc. He is able bodied. He needs to step up, quit drugs and do his life. Sorry for your pain, I really am but without consequences these kids continue to manipulate and use us. Stay firm, let him know he's loved, offer rehab. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
