They had a program on TV on Intervention about addicts. The one addict's mother had died and he moved in with his father. He knew his father was grieving and yet he stole almost anything that was not nailed down in his father's house. The father kept putting up with it until his son stole his deceased wife's engagement ring and sold it for $50 for some heroin. That was the straw that broke the camel's back and the father turned his son in. The son later said that is what saved his life. We all have our limits with addicts. You don't need to beat yourself up about the past. It is over and you can't change that. But you can change what will happen from now on with your son. You can make your life better. It starts with you. Hugs, Marle
