[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 717297, member: 13303"] Just an FYI, you might want to edit your post above to remove the name of your son and his girlfriend. You may need to provide instructions to caring family friends that they are not to harbor, clothe, feed, bail out or otherwise enable your son. He is sneaky and manipulative as they all are. He has every behavior of a hardcore addict and I am sorry to say that, I realize it probably sounds very harsh. Since he is not a legal adult yet, you might want to talk to a lawyer to see whether you and your husband can be held liable for his actions. Can you have him declared incorrigible, or otherwise sign his custody over to the state? I know that sounds extremely harsh, but it might be something to investigate just to protect yourself. How long until he turns 18? I am so happy to hear that your husband has learned to see reality for what it is and I am equally, so sorry that your son is making such terrible choices. I agree with your husband, as hard as it is, no contact is the only way until he is willing to live the way you raised him. He is showing by his behavior that he wants to be on the street, living life and doing his thing. As long as he is being enabled by friends (his own or older friends of yours), this will continue. He loves the drugs and his outlaw ways more than anything else at this point. Hugs to you, this is sheer hell. [/QUOTE]
