[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 602993, member: 1550"] Your son has no intention of quitting. He gave up his job instead of going for help. What makes you think that if you take a loan that you can't afford and send him to rehab that he will quit using? He probably won't even go or he'll walk out after two days. He isn't in the mindset of one who wants to quit. Don't waste a dime thinking you can make him better. Just going to a rehab is no guarantee. There are plenty of free rehabs and N/A and if somebody really wants to quit, they will. If they don't, just going to a rehab won't do anything. I know a woman who was sent to rehab eleven times, court ordered. Last I heard she was still using. She walked out each time. This is not worth your retirement. Only your son, who is closing in on middle age now, can help himself. You can only control yourselves. I know the helpless feeling. Hugs!!!!! You may want to go to Narc-Anon or Al-Anon. I highly recommend those meetings to anyone with a loved one who is an addict. [/QUOTE]
