[QUOTE="ksm, post: 762499, member: 12511"] I know it's hard to be the parent of an addict...and just as hard to be the step parent! I feel for your "mommas heart" in trying to protect and provide for your son. But, I think your son is smart enough to get his basic needs met. Didn't he have a loan for $24,000? Brighter than I am! I couldn't get a loan for that much unless it was for a car...and the lending facility would have the title as collateral until it was paid off. Something doesn't sound right... Your husband is trying to protect you and the other children. Maybe he isn't doing it as tactfully as he should, but addicts are master manipulators! Luckily, your son has had periods of sobriety and found rehabs on his own. I hope in the future he finds it again and in time, you and your husband can trust him again. It gets harder with each setback we see them go through. Even though we know we have no control, it doesn't lessen the pain. Newksm [/QUOTE]
