[QUOTE="jetsam, post: 700603, member: 20689"] Im sorry for what you are guing through! welcome to the site. people will be along to post. I hear your frustration but know you are doing the right thing! One thing i have learned (and i learned the hard way) is that once they are out, DO NOT let them back in. My son is an addict who roller coasters with being clean then not, then clean...you get the picture anyway, my husband and I made the mistake of letting him back home when things were going well..need I say more? Now we have stress and tension in the house and are kicking ourselves for the decision we made. Yes, we thought we were helping. No ,we were actually enabling It didn't take long for things go downhill. He took advantage of our kindness (i guess to him it was a green light to go back to mom and dad taking care of him. All I can say is to stay strong and not give in to the emotions that dictate us sometimes. We love them, so we want to protect and nurture them. This is not good for them or us. there is an article on detachment you might want to read which may help. Its on the parent emeritus page. Keep posting and reading and hugs to you [/QUOTE]
