[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739071, member: 1550"] I can only tell tou my story and hope it soothes you a bit. At 19 my daughter heavily used meth and cocaine and had been on parole twice. I had two littles who were scared of her drug rages. One night we came home and found her having a pill party. She looked like a corpse and we decided not to make her comfortable anymore so that she could use drugs and maybe die from our well meaning nurturing. Why make drug use easy for her? How did that help? We made her leave. We never offered a dime. She did find a place to live under the strictest rules she ever knew. She had to clean the house, cook, get a full time job and walk to and from the job in a Chicago winter, and even smoking one cigarette in the house would have been no second chance banishment. The extreme strictness worked. She quit, including cigarettes. She is twelve years off meth and cocaine with a career, house and my grandbaby. She never even tried suicide, which she used to talk about a lot. I think strict works very well as opposed to treating our adults like they cant do it. It wont always work but if troubled adults are out of our homes, we at least can find peace and can live again. At 36 its time for your son to grow up. Or not. It is up to him, not you. Nothing you can do. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
