[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 131737, member: 1436"] Mikey, I have heard you say the same things over and over ad nauseum. I'm sorry that wife wants to enable. But...you can't change wife.... I'm sorry that your son continues to use..you can't change your son... And I am most sorry that you can't seem to grasp what we have been trying to tell you for months...you can only change yourself. And you haven't worked to do that. You say you have, but you continue to feed off the behavior of those around you. Change yourself. That comes first! I've been there done that. I have lived with your son. I have been both you and wife. But, after a short while, I worked to change myself. Then and only then did real changes in my life started taking effect. Your son is an addict whose first and only love is his drug. He doesn't love anything else. He can't. That doesn't mean all hope is lost. But...your continually believing that your hands are tied is a cop-out. You do have the right to choose. You just choose not to choose anything and let others make the choices for you. Like my great-grandmother---who was a real difficult child....used to say *hit or get off the pot!! (Pun intended there!) [/QUOTE]
