[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 714104, member: 19887"] I too struggle with how much support becomes enabling, and have probably given more than I should have at times. The truth is that no one really knows the whole story, parents included. Once the addict starts telling you more it gets pretty scary and you realize you knew only a fraction of the facts. Welcome to the boards, they are a good source of support, and often have lots of good advice. That being said you have to still figure out what is best in your own situation. We have never kicked out our son, but I know there are those who would have. I don't judge either decision. I've done what I can do. Each family is different. It sounds like your son wants change. I believe most addicts do. I have to hold onto hope that this is possible, I can't imagine otherwise. Take care and I hope you find some peace. [/QUOTE]
