As a recovering crack addict, I agree with all the above. If he gets away with this, he will continue and it will get worse.

When I was active, I did some stupid things (although, for some reason, didn't steal or forge anything) and always told myself "I'll deal with the consequences later". Well, consequences put me in jail...county for a month, a diversion center for 4-1/2. I did relapse once since I got out, but when I realized that I was heading to PRISON if I didn't quit, I did and got into recovery. In those 8 days, I lost a lot of material things that I had worked hard for over a year to get. Worse than that, I put my family through hell again.

I imagine it must be the hardest thing to do, for a parent to have their own child arrested, but he's not going to quit until his consequences get bad enough.

You and your hubby do not deserve to be dragged down by your son's addiction. He will drag you down if you let him.

Hugs and prayers!
