[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 724051, member: 1963"] Well, he's got a needle abcess...most likely from shooting up pills. Either it'll get better on its own. He'll seek medical attention and it'll get better. Or...he'll seek medical attention too late and lose his arm. Or he won't seek medical attention and die of sepsis. I'm not trying to scare you. This is rock bottom junkie reality. Also reality is that there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it. This is also YOUR rock bottom reality: He'll live or he'll die, and you have absolutely NO control over that. There is nothing you can do to fix or save him. At this point, all you can do is save yourself and your family, if any. You do that by cutting him off--completely. It's hard and it's horrible. Perhaps the most horrible thing a parent can face. Knowing their child is effectively dying and not even being able to comfort them. You have the hardest role. You have to go on living. Please, detach so you CAN go on living. If you don't, you will go down with him...as surely as if you were shooting the poison into your own veins. [/QUOTE]
