Over a year ago we moved him home after losing his job. I had no idea the exstint of his drug use due to him living over four hours away from us. Shortly after moving home we learned of his heroin addiction after finding syringes and heroin in his room. We had a family discussion and thought we had laid down rules for living in our home.

Long story short I let him back in. I'm soooo incredibly angry at myself for not being strong enough to let him go. I'm tired of being used lied to and manipulated over and over again.
