Max, im so pleased your son is on his road to recovery. As sad and tired has said, we have all been at the end of the abuse….its upto us to stop the enabling and for a parent that is the HARDEST thing to do. It was like a bereavement when I finally faced what ha been staring me in the face for a long time…My son is an addict…he may not do it every day, but he uses on a regular basis. I had to tell ll my family NOT to give him any money, to put up with the lying, the stealing is the worse…..All the excuses, all the threats to kill himself……A light eventually went on, and from then on I told him he was on his own. He is at the moment in prison doing a 4 month sentence…..and I truly hope when he gets out he resumes the counselling he had started ..He too has said he has had enough, I just hope he is strong enough. Never give up on your kids, they too deserve a happier life!!
