[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 646944, member: 17461"] That is so hard. You did the right thing. That is not true. You are being the dad you have to be when your child is following a wrong path. Though it would be easier to throw money at the situation, the only way we can really help our children is to help them wake up. Your son is destroying himself. He needs to stop. I am glad he did not call back. You did a very hard thing very well. I am sorry for the hurt of it. You can do this. This is a perfect opening to say: Treatment or nothing. Keep phone numbers for Social Services, and for Crisis Lines written beside the phone or in your pocket. That way, you will have something to remind you what to say when he calls again. Which he will. Our addicted children are in traps that we cannot get them out of. The more we help them, the worse the addiction becomes because that is the nature of addiction. I am so sorry you find yourself in this position. You are a good father. Such a good father, and we know how much you love your son. I am sorry for the hurt of it. You did good. Cedar [/QUOTE]
