[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 619222, member: 59"] cronzo there is a lot going on here and I don't feel at all qualified to give you the help that you need but I'll tell you what I think according to my experience.You have been in two relationships with drug addicts and one is the biological father of your son. Addiction runs in families, it is not at all surprising that your son is now abusing drugs, he has the genetic predisposition plus the environmental factors that makes this such a huge risk. Should you be concerned how your current husband is treating your son....YES! Your son But your son is now an adult and he is getting into adult trouble. He is not going to get the help he needs living in your home. I am sorry I don't mean to sound judgmental, but this is a dysfunctional environment. Your son has so many hurts that have never been dealt with. In my opinion your son needs to be evaluated by a mental health/addiction counselor asap before his addiction and criminal behavior escalates any further. Is he agreeable to that? I'm going to go further and say that I don't think your son should be living in the environment he is. If you are going to stay with your husband I think you son needs to be out on his own. I realize that with his limited education this will be difficult. But if he continues on this road he may end up in jail. Your situation is complex but your son is in trouble and he needs help. I hope you don't think I'm too harsh but you have a lot of decisions to make. [/QUOTE]
