Yes, you are doing the right thing. When you give him money, he buys drugs with it. When you give him a soft bed to sleep in, you are making it easier for him to continue to use. When you let him cuss you out, you are giving him a scapegoat for his troubles. But when you offer him treatment, you are giving him a chance. Problem is it does not sound like he is really ready to accept help. I am the mother of an addict daughter and so I do understand how hard it is to let go and let them find their way, but I believe it is absolutely the right thing to do. My experience and the experience of others have shown this to be true. Others will be along to welcome you. Just know that we are here and you don't have to do this by yourself. Hugs, Marle
