[QUOTE="Carri, post: 653403, member: 17790"] As hard as it is, I also have gotten to a place where I [act] like I accept my 30 year old sons life style of couch surfing, living in hotels and cars, anywhere he can find; allowing him to continue his lifestyle of heroin addiction. Of course I want him to seek recovery (again) but I realize that might not happen. I also realize he's playing Russian Roulette with his life each time he shoots up and that I may not see him again, so I'm willing to have him over for meals, let him wash his clothes and maybe even take a shower, when I'm home. He knows he can't come over when I'm not there. I TRY not to give him advise, or interrogate him, but let him know I love him by just being his mom. He doesn't stick around long, which is fine with me...it's stressful seeing him dirty, thin and nodding off. But at least I won't have regrets if something bad happens I look forward to him getting arrested so he goes back to jail and I can have some peace. Crazy huh? Who would have thought things would have turned out this way? Obviously we're all loving, caring parents or we wouldn't be here sharing such similar stories. Hang in there and be gentle on yourself.
