[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 257614, member: 1550"] You did exactly the right thing. He won't learn a thing if you rescue him. It's his fault he got into the fight and that he's even with them. If he wasn't a drug addict, he wouldn't have to hang out with drug addicts. Assume that everyone he associates with right now is a drug addict and that it won't change until he does. And, for heavens sake, don't let him come home because of his own horrible choices! He doesn't need to go home to go to detox. He can do that wherever he's at. It still doesn't sound like he's ready to live a safe and sane life and, if he makes that choice, it won't be from the comfort of your living room. Your son is a man. If you want him to ever grow up, let him do this himself. You don't really want him to be 40 and the same as he is now. I know grown parents in their 70's who should be living peaceful lives who are still trying to rescue 40 year old drug addict kids. They don't get it--it's too late. Go on with the good part of your life and detach. Don't help him stay this way. [/QUOTE]
