[QUOTE="Nature, post: 740026, member: 19011"] I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's heartbreaking watching the person you love destroy themselves. There are no right and wrong answers but I do state whole heartedly you must find and seek help from others who are going through the same thing you are. You must be healthy and strong in order to be able to deal with this and you also have other little ones who are dependant on you. On another post there is a discussion about tough love, enabling and setting boundaries. Please read it and keep coming back here as we are here to support you and we understand how you feel. You can't allow drug use in your home but you can still let your son know you love him. However, addicts have a way of manipulating us and can spot you in week moments . If you are not feeling strong that yes perhaps distancing yourself may be the way you can cope with it at the moment. I strongly suggest you find a support group in your area and if unable then please continue to visit here and read the post and feel the support from all the amazing people here. All of our addicted children have taken different paths but somehow the end result is substance abuse problems. For some, it takes several different stints at rehab to change, for others it may be some form of incarceration, could be a new school or even one person that changes your son. You might not have control over him at the moment but you do have control over yourself. Stay strong and hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
