[QUOTE="mykidsmom, post: 758238, member: 25680"] Hi everyone. I found this page today & believe me, it is an answer to prayer! My 47 year old son who is addicted to drugs & alcohol, homeless and still needs to register for a Domestic Violence class has taken me to my breaking point. For the past few years he has been able to get through life without my help, but recently he showed up on my doorstep. I let him in, gave his something to eat and allowed him to take a shower. *I've learned the hard way (but somehow manage to forget) that if you give someone who is a "taker" an inch, they'll go a mile. For the past 30 years he's been in & out of jail lived with his uncle survived a bad accident that severed his liver & the doctor brought him back to life twice became angry & didn't want to follow our rules and moved out lost one of his younger brother, who was murdered 15 years ago became a dad married another woman who was mean spirited went into a 1 year program for homelessness & addictions but left after 6 months became a widow has been beaten up & hospitalized twice and still hasn't hit rock bottom!! Yesterday, I realized that I am not doing him any good by entertaining his phone calls, uninvited visits and his outbursts as he talks to his (now) girlfriend on his phone. I called the police and asked them to remove *my son* from my property. Other than burying my other son, it is undoubtedly the hardest thing I've ever done. And then, I found your page. This is an answer to prayer. [/QUOTE]
