Origami...like others I really believe you did the right thing....not only for you, daughter in law and the kids but for him too. We have just visited my difficult child who is doing a lot better. I talked with his girlfriend and she said he really likes having a roof over his head and she feels that is a motivating him to continue to do well. So my feeling is he absolutely knows that we will only help him when he is doing well himself. He knows that if he is not doing the right things we will not rescue him and that we will let him be homeless, on the streets or in jail. We don't want to do anything like that but we have in the past and we will do it again. Him knowing the alternatives helps motivate him to do right. Your son needs to learn you will not protect him from himself. If you let him continue to live there shooting heroin there will be no motivation for him to stop.TL
