[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 677379, member: 18958"] Hi Wendy I am sorry I missed your thread until now. I agree with everybody else. Do not leave your house. It will make things worse. You need to put yourself first, not think first about him. He is an adult. Not your baby boy. If you are not safe in your house, what do you do? You call the police. You lock the door. You lock danger outside. If you tolerate being afraid, abused, stolen from, yelled at, or if you put others' interests ahead of yourself systematically, that is enabling. Jails are full of people who arrive on drugs. The large majority. Jails know how to treat drug addicts. They would have huge liability if they let everybody get sick. I doubt it is fun, but they cannot systematically deny people medical care which is required, even if it is drug related. People, even suspected felons, are entitled to humane and adequate healthcare commensurate to that which is available in the community. I am glad you are here. Keep posting. You can do this. Your son will deal with his situation and your "job" is to take care of you. COPA [/QUOTE]
