[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 690097, member: 15801"] WSM - I too hope you haven't been scared away by the discussion. I think your situation brought up a lot for a lot of us dealing with this issue. Sisters Keeper - I just want to say I agree with a lot of what you have had to say. Even though at times I have had to do very tough love with my son I have come to the conclusion that at least for me, cutting him completely off will not really help him either. I have cut him off when he is being totally irresponsible, using and not doing anything to help himself..... But I do feel showing love and compassion and understanding is more helpful. The worry I had for WSM in taking her son on vacation was that he was addicted to heroin and was pretty newly clean. That is a hard addiction to stay away from and drugs are everywhere.... And so taking him on vacation felt very risky. [/QUOTE]
