[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 758871, member: 15032"] Wanted to offer you hugs and prayers. You can only do what your heart can bear. I say stop it to all of it. He needs to experience ALL of the consequences of his behavior. My son was like that too about sober living. He wanted to live a "normal life". Well, you can't right now because you're not living normal!! WTH In the end I was more stubborn than he was and I am not a stubborn person but I would no no longer give him a fraction of an inch. And my husband said he'd rather our son would pass than for him to live like this. Yes he said that. We just talked about it the other day - our son is doing so very well now - and husband does not regret saying that or feeling it. It was his rock bottom. They are so much alike it's scary. They look alike too. I guess the bottom line is that our son had to care more about himself than we cared about him at that time and we had to LET that happen. I just realized that this very moment that I wrote it. This is not easy but HE can change his life and have and make a good life for himself. Take care. [/QUOTE]
