[QUOTE="Carolita2, post: 674706, member: 19632"] Welcome to the board, Pam54.. I am sorry to hear about your most difficult situatiion..and the pain you are in..It is so anti intuitive to do nothing..and that is a process. When I first arrived here I wanted to straighten out the mess my son is in due to the use and abuse of drugs. It is always about money. Since I've learned not to give money to the addict, I found that there is something I can share with him, information..To know what resources are in his area, homeless shelters, detoxes, rehabs and it sounds like you have done some of this..When he calls, I can let him know I care and then ask what he is willing to do? If not willing, he is not ready. If willing, I can let him know what resources there are and exactly where they are..this gives me some comfort... In addition to this amazing website, I attend Alanon and Naranon meetings..that provide support to families whose loved ones have substance abuse issues..locations can be found on line. We are here for you..you are not alone.. Hang on, you will find answers and support. xox, Carolita [/QUOTE]
