[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 697840, member: 19069"] Welcome T Rene, I'm not as hard core as I probably should be nor give the best advice but I wanted to welcome you and offer what I can. I don't think you should feel one bit bad about not allowing your son to live with you nor should you worry about what he tells others or post on social media about you, everyone will know that's not true. Sounds like you have been through hell with your son and have done a lot to try to help him but mostly what you mention is paying for stuff for him, just handing him a job and making his life easy. Have you tried an intervention to get him into rehab? I did an intervention on my son who was a heroin addict and he agreed and went to rehab. He seems to be doing well for now, he is receiving Vivitrol injections monthly . He is working a full time job for the first time ever and is really a different person. My son blamed me for every bad thing in his life when he was in active addiction just like your son is doing to you. Performing an intervention was a very hard thing to arrange. I studied about interventions on the Internet and I had to get everyone on board including my sons father who I don't get along with at all. I wasn't sure if it would work but I just felt that I had to do whatever it took to save my son. I do believe in tough love, detachment, and enjoying your own life. I'm practicing all of that now. I just wanted to know that I did everything I could to save him. If he relapses now, it's on him. Could an intervention be one last thing you try to help your son? You have to have a bottom line of what you will do if he doesn't go to treatment and you have to stick to it. You need everyone close to your son on board. If that's not an option then Detach anyway you can, you deserve to enjoy your life. He is a grown man! [/QUOTE]
