[QUOTE="EarthIsHard, post: 737933, member: 23004"] Tammy, I'm sorry you're going through this. You are right in not wanting them to move back in while using. That is a very sad situation for an unborn child having a using mother. I'd have to say, I might have police look for them in this situation, not only are their lives at stake, but the child. That is a very tough situation. Our 26 year old was in a very similar situation, minus the pregnant girlfriend, for 9 years with heroin then added meth in the last years. He's been through many rehabs. We tried and tried to help until we finally asked him to leave. After 6 months gone, his actions have landed him in a psychiatric hospital who is forcing him to get help that he needs. It's really difficult when they are that young wanting to make all their own decisions while choosing ones that are ruining their lives. We hoped that he'd come to the decision to get the help he needs but sometimes they're in so deep they can't break out of that tornado alone. My thought is not to take your son back unless he agrees to treatment first. His girlfriend is not thinking of her baby, she's thinking of where her next needle is coming from, and unfortunately, so is your son. Neither are thinking of the child. Your son's DUI situation may force him to get clean with a little time in jail. We thought that would be the worst situation for our son though being in jail got him some clean time and was some of the time when his head was the clearest. Prayers to you. [/QUOTE]
