[QUOTE="mof, post: 714568, member: 20533"] I'm sorry, I know what you are going through. Mine found sobriety but is still growing and not sure he had a lapse, but HE has to figure it out. HE will not go to school in the FAll., do you think he even cares about house keeping? NO, he is a drug user..fact is these adult children have no respect for themselves or us. You said he is doing drugs...he does not want help, it's time for you to allow him to live his choices. What is your biggest fear? Prison? What people think? His safety? YOU aren't the one who should be on medications...if you had cancer would you seek treatment? Sure...well your treatment right now is to remove him from your home. Tell him to go stay with friends, can he figure it out? It could take him years to figure it out, but everytime you do things for him...he learns nothing. HUG yourself...you do not have to go down with him. HE CAN ASK FOR HELP! You can love him, support positive behaviors...the rest, say NO. We get it. [/QUOTE]
