[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 697854, member: 20051"] Rene, The truth of the matter is that if he is an addict even if you can have him court ordered to treatment it probably won't work because they only get clean when they are ready. Unfortunately, the best you can do is learn to emotionally distance yourself from it and learn not to enable. Have you tried Al-Anon, Nar-Anon meetings? They are helpful in letting you connect with people in the same situation and they will help you learn to stop the cycle of co-dependence. You need to take care of yourself. As sad as it is, there is nothing you can do do help your son. How can you help someone who thinks they don't need help? Do some things to help relive your anxiety. Maybe a therapist would help or try yoga, or put some headphones with upbeat music and take a long walk. [/QUOTE]
