[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 667388, member: 1550"] Jail is the safest place for.him. he wont be able to use heroin regularly. You wont hsve to worry that he will be on the streets. If you rescue him, even if he lives with you, he will be in danger on the streets and could bring danger to you and your other loved ones He could also die of an overdose, far less likely.in jail. You will have some peace. Decide how often you want to talk to him...it is costly. Figure out in advance what you will send him. My own suggestions about what to send, which you can take or leave, would be motivationsl books, if he has a religion then religious books, sports mags, easy stuff so he can heal while he is there. He has a chance. Or not its up to him. At our ages, we have earned our purple heart parent stripes. Okie, you have gone over and above your calling. You hsve done it all.if our love could cure them, theyd all be well. But although our love (not our money or our enabling) can ground them, they alone can change who they are, I am certainly not the final word, but my opininion aligns with your husband. When our kids are minors, I feel we should put them first. But as we hit our 50s and our hids hit their 20s, I feel it is time to put our lives first and to enjoy life with our SO and family and friends who are able to enjoy life with us, not just cause stress. I am so sorry you hurt. Hugs for your heart. And I hate using my tablet to respond. Hope its readable ;) [/QUOTE]
