[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 727387, member: 1550"] Hi there. I am sorry. Heroin is so nasty, we have an epedemic of it in our small city. Tons of busts. Overdoses. Glad my kids are too old for high school. Having acknowledged it is sad disease, you must care for yourself too. He can choose rehab rather than your house and if he steals from you, well, that is a deal breaker for most. He is using your hard earned money for heroin. If he wanted a warm bed he would not steal from his own parents no matter what. Some kids steal all our retirement. He has other options. Like quitting. Like shelters. Like couch surfing. I lived in Chicago and my drugged daughter walked to and from work in Chicago winter and did not even get a cold. On drugs I don't even know that they feel or care about the cold. And heroin addicts don't eat much if you worry about food. That's why they are stick skinny. We worry more than them. When you had your son you promised to care for him as a baby and child. He is a full grown man with a deep voice, hair all over and is able bodied. We are not supposed to take care of them as adults. They actually often start fussing over us by that age. He is not your baby now. He is your adult who uses drugs, steals and shows no interest on quitting. You can't save him. He is the only person on Earth who can save himself. If you do not see a therapist, I recommend it. This is hard. If nothing changes in how we treat our adults then they don't change and our own lives also stay miserable. You have a right to be happy even if your son struggles. Many of us have learned how to detach from their drama. It takes time. Today is a great day to start! We are glad you came Love and hugs!
