[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 746900, member: 15032"] Ladies I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I spoke to a friend the other night whose son was in rehab for heroin and doing great. He was there a month and when she picked him up he was actually himself and saying everything she wanted to hear. Within a few days he was back at it. He had gone to live with his father after rehab. She now knows she should have sent him to a sober house. He is 26. They keep on taking care of him so why should he change right? He lived with her, then his uncle (a former addict) and now is with his dad. If she had asked me I would have told her to not bring him to someone's home again but she did not. I am the only person she knows that has dealt with this and she doesn't go to therapy or reach out in any way to get help or advice other than me. We sent our son to another state for a few years where he bounced around, even overdosed. Was in and out of treatment centers. I did not want him around me. I couldn't do it. I liked him being far away. He finally went to a 13 month faith based program which seemed to make a difference. He has been home now for 4 months and doing better than I could have imagined. He worked 62 hours last week. Before we couldn't get him to work or keep a job. He is not perfectly sober but he is not doing pills and as says he will not because he paid severe dues for that. Only time will tell but we feel hopeful. If he hasn't learned that lesson by now then he may never. This is so very hard on all of us. There just isn't any way to sugar coat it. Love shouldn't hurt this much. [/QUOTE]
