No one can fight this battle for him. No one. Just him. Maybe his dad is busy trying to live instead of die from his son's addiction? Have you read any of the posts from parents here who have detached? Do you honestly think we can't be bothered?

You can't save him Callie. You can offer support and compassion but you can't save him. It isn't your job, it's his:
