[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 526129, member: 59"] Skippy I hope that by reading some of our stories you will get enough information to convince your husband that he is not helpin gyou son by allowing him to continue using drugs and living in your home. All of the members here have gone thorugh what you are going through and more. Many of us have had to kick our difficult child's out of the house. We had to do that a year and a half ago and it was by far the hardest thing we ever did. Even though she has since been through rehab and sober houses she is still using and just lost her job and will probably be kicked out of her apartment soon. Your son will not get help until he hits his bottom, until things become so bad for him that the pain of staying the same is worse than the pain of changing. I agree that counseling may help bring you and your husband on the same page. Your son knows you are divided and he will exploit that. His drug use will not get better without help. He will lie, steal, break laws, do unthinkable things to get the drugs he needs. We had to lock everything up in the house and still she managed to steal from us. It will escalate and if you allow him to use your cars you will be vulnerable. You will receive many replies from our members here who are my inspiration and my support. I hope you and your husband will find the courage to draw the line in the sand with your difficult child. The first step can be that he either has to get treatment or leave. It will be his choice.
