I have a son who is 27 yrs old. Over a year ago we moved him home after losing his job. I had no idea the exstint of his drug use due to him living over four hours away from us. Shortly after moving home we learned of his heroin addiction after finding syringes and heroin in his room. We had a family discussion and thought we had laid down rules for living in our home. He knew absolutely no drugs or using would be allowed. He didn't care and continued using anything from marijuana to ketamine to alcohol. The other night he admitted to stealing prescription drugs from us. Never thinking we needed to hide them. I'm such a fool!! I kicked him out then had a melt down. It was pouring rain out side, cold, late at night and I knew he had no money and no place to go. I cried for hours and after hearing he was sitting under a bridge we went looking for him. Long story short I let him back in. I'm soooo incredibly angry at myself for not being strong enough to let him go. I'm tired of being used lied to and manipulated over and over again. I know I need to be strong and let him go, but it breaks my heart and I feel so guilty for doing so. He has ADHD, depression, anxiety and we believe he's probably borderline as well. Any advice is welcomed
Thank you
