[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 730089, member: 21499"] I agree with you. He has not shown any signs of trying to improve his life and has basically stolen from you by not repaying you. It is time for him to realize that actions or non actions have consequences. He needs to grow up and take care of his own life. You can't make him go to rehab but if he has to face what his drinking is doing he will hopefully realize what he needs to do . it would not hurt to provide him with local rehabs. There is an article here on detachment try to get your wife to read it and a book called codependent no more by melody beattie. The reason i know this is my son continually borrowed money always with promises anf full proof plans of how he would pay it back. I am talking about tens of thousands of dollars. I have not seen a dime. He is 36 years old. I know that i was not helping him by enabling. Your ss has lost friends and the mother of his child by his behavior as has still not learned. He has not changed his behavior and will not because he has not found his bottom. If you don't change he won't. [/QUOTE]
