[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 762542, member: 1550"] So did you reach out for any help? NarAnon or private therapy? If you dont, it is just like your son refusing g to get help. You need help as much as he does. Addiction is a family disease. Everyone involved with the addict becomes sick and needs to learn how to recover. Nothing ever changes for anybody if people refuse to take those hard and uncomfortable steps to change. You can't force your son to get help, but you and your husband can get help...and in my humble opinion need to badly. I would not talk to Dad's parents. Don't even have to answer the phone. How.is it your fault that your son bothers them? You have no control over who he decides to bother and if Grandfather maybe went to Nar Anon, and many grandparents do, maybe he would know better than to take a bus to give things to a drug addict. That's his fault and nobody else's. Drug addicts are very sick and often lie too. We become sick too and often deny how sick they are and that getting g well is 100 percent on them. I sure denied it. Your son is really off the rails and when my daughter dared tocall me by my first name, and she did, I would hang up. Period. I hope you all decide to reach out for help for yourselves. Hugs and prayers to all. I k ow it's hard. [/QUOTE]
