[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 726257, member: 21895"] Oh my dear DS My son was arrested last June, caught on a stolen bycicle with a back pack full of stolen goods from peoples cars. The term they use here is called car hopping. He was in the throws of actively using multiple drugs heavily. Cocoaine, Benzos and pot was the cocktail of the day. I was in the throws of learning how family to detach. We had rented a footage on a lake up north and were there when we got the phone call. It destroyed the rest of my holiday week. I cried non stop. I was so sad, bitter and angry. He had a family friend bail him out. We have since spoken to close friends and explained our situation with Difficult Child. The thanks this friend for was that son took off on her. This was when he dragged me down the swirley Whirley path of drug addiction, lies and deceit. He refused to go to a homeless shelter. He refused to get on a bus and come north to us. I ended up putting him in a cheap motel. He called crying and begging to come home said he knew he had a probl m and wanted help. Said he would go to rehab. Long story short lies, manipulation, more drug use and theft continued. We declared we would never bail him out again and we stuck to our guns until this last stretch of theft and incarceration. He knows this time if he does not go to rehab he will be facing time in prison. My son had a mess of a life and it is so hard to to step in and clean it all up for them. I know I am with you I live this every day. I care more for mys of these days and work more on me than my son. Reading, attending support groups and being here have helped so very much. Two books and lectures that have helped me very much are Living With Uncertainly and Don’t Bite the Hook. Birhxby an amazing woman Pema Chodron. [URL="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pema_Chödrön_bibliography"]Pema Chödrön bibliography - Wikipedia[/URL] Know you are not alone. I pray someday your son and mine will wake up and stop this madness. [/QUOTE]
