Hi Jennifer, I can’t remember how old your son is, although I know it doesn’t matter. However, it does sound like he has gone much worse and I can understand how it can be unbearable. Is there another close family member he could stay with. Would it be worth giving him an ultimatum and saying either he sorts himself out or he will have to leave. We were fortunate that our son has a girlfriend who took him in. We don’t have much contact with him and I suspect he is still using but in one way it is easier as we don’t worry what state he will will be in, like we did when he was living with us. All I know is that no matter what we did our son would choose drugs so as others have said on here unless he wants to stop himself there is very little you can do. You will never stop worrying but perhaps it’s time to focus on yourself. You take care.
