[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 737871, member: 15032"] As you may have read here and many will tell you, HE is the only person that can fix this. He knows he has your love and support but he has to want to live a different life for himself. Sometimes there is really nothing more that we can do as parents than to let them know that. I think it's better that he is not living in your home if he is going to lead this type of life. I hope that you have some support for yourself. I saw a therapist for years that helped me form boundaries for myself and my son. I knew I had to take care of myself because we were going on year 7 of his drug abuse and I was suffering terribly. You need to do whatever you can to help yourself cope and feel better. I'm sure more will be along to offer their support and advice as well. :notalone::staystrong: [/QUOTE]
