It would be better to make him mad at you now than to bury him. I know that sounds really harsh, but if you dont do something while he is still under 18, you may not can do anything later.
Wise words from Lou Ann and those above. I am the mother of an addict and I too was afraid of alienating my son and never seeing him again, so I didn't do what is so wisely suggested here.
I haven't heard from my son in 3 years, I have no idea where he is or if he is dead or alive. Last I heard from him he was in very bad shape. It was nothing I did or didn't do that caused him to stop calling me, it was because addiction had taken him to the depths of hell and he was too ashamed.
I don't mean to frighten you, truly I don't and my heart goes out to you along with my prayers. I tell you this straight up because I care enough to be honest with you and leave the sugar coating aside.
I'm glad you joined us and hope you'll walk with us on this journey, we all understand and we care.
Hugs
