I'm like most that have posted in that it took time...and a lot like you in that I just couldn't give my son the boot.
So...in teeny little baby steps, I started laying down some rules:
No drug use in the home. he accepted that, but would sometimes come home high
Step two: If you're high, don't come home
That one was tricky because if he didn't come home, I assumed he was high.
Thats about the time I gave it up to my HP and stopped trying to guess. I started looking at the number of times he did respect my rules, and realized they far outweighed the number of times he didn't.
That was a little light of hope for me.
He eventually began to make changes on his own.
And along the whole way, there were my friends here that supported me and my teeny steps
We're walking with you
