[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 523979, member: 59"] gabeach, you are not alone. There are many of us on this board who are dealing with substance abuse with their difficult child's. We have a substance abuse forum on this board and you may want to post there also since some of our members may not see this here. I had to kick my daughter out of the house last year also because of drug/alcohol abuse. Addicts will steal from you or anyone else to get their drugs. They will also lie to you and try to make you feel sorry for them. If your son wants help he knows where he can go. There are treatment centers and sober houses he can go to for help. Do you have a public hospital in your area that will take someone with no insurance? We have detox centers here that will help you detox and then refer you to sober houses where he can learn how to live drug free. Whatever you do you need to take care of yourself and your husband. He needs to hit bottom and have nowhere else to turn before he decides to change. This is not your fault. You did not cause it, you cannot control it, and you cannot cure it. That is up to him.
