[QUOTE="Origami, post: 649865, member: 18099"] Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear this, as I fully understand the glimmer of hope you had that this would be the time he "gets it" and stays clean. I think addiction is definitely the smasher of hope, and we just have to get used to that unfortunate fact. I was so proud of my son when he'd been clean for 8 months (was on house arrest), and he swore he wasn't going to use again. We found out later he'd started using again, and we stopped letting him drive our car since we assumed he was driving it to get drugs. He said we should continue to let him drive since his so-called friend had been delivering the drugs straight to the house! (We didn't buy into that logic.) It's so hard to know what to do, but I think the other advice is probably the wisest. If you can stay strong to resist the manipulation, he'll be forced to deal with his own problems and their consequences. I know this is easier said than done, and I'm actually not a great example of this, but am still working on learning to detach in love. --Hugs-- [/QUOTE]
