[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 681262, member: 1550"] GN, I know why you posted that. It was good info. However having lived once with an addict I personally dont think this young man is ready to quit. I think he is more apt to.party st.home while parents are gone, like my daughter did. We wanted to believe she had quit so we left.her alone to feed the dogs while we took our younger kids to a waterpark. We came home a day early to a pill party and many shady looking guests. Stupid us, but we desoerately wanted to believe. In hindsight we should have put the dogs in a kennel and told daughter to stay elsewhere or come with us. Young addicts are very all over the place. No guessing what they will do, but not trustworthy at all. At the same time the parents of addicts need and deserve to have breaks and lives. Even for addicts who live at home, they manage to get out and do it all, as if they were on the streets. They hanng with users and dealers whether thry have a place to sleep in our home or sleep under a bridge. Many climb out of windows or leave when we are asleep. I hope op enjoys a well needed respite! :) [/QUOTE]
