I also have a son of 37 who has been a drug addict for 14 years with brief periods of being clean. I sympathise so much with you as feel at the end of my tether. He has cost us a fortune over the years and as a result I am still working at 69! I cant turn my back on him and feel completely trapped. Others in my family are critical of me and say that I am his enabler but I try hard not to help him all the time just when I think he is in dire trouble. Sometimes I just wish it would all end one way or the other, so fed up with all the lies but think I am his only real friend so will try and keep on going.
