[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 503068, member: 12856"] My answer will probably be seen as being a bit off as well. It is his choice to use or not use. If he gets caught with the drugs I will not bail him out of whatever jam he gets himself into. If I find it in the house, I will turn him in my ownself. As long as there is evidence of his using, I will not give him any cash. I wll not finance his drug use. I realize that his mental illness probably drives his poor choices, but there are plenty of people who have mental illnesses who do not make poor choices. I do not condone the use of illegal substances. I have made my position perfectly clear to him. There is a natural tendency to want to blame their choices on their mental issues. When he was first diagnosed, I fell into that trap and realized real quick and in a hurry how destructive this is to both of us. [/QUOTE]
