      Hey jenny.. hope your doing well.. your in a situation were, if hes not willing to get help, you dont want to kick him out, incase something happens so you have to take the shit basically.. or you kick him out and tell him you have done your best, he will have to learn the hardway.. or tell him.. thats it now, you get help, he proves to you that hes getting help or he leaves. Thats only advice i can give.. if hes not prepared to get help.. do you want to live like that anymore? Its not good for you? Is there no family member that can make him see sence?

      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.

      Just do what you thinks best for you jenny. You can only try so many times. Have you no other kids that can talk to him?
