I believe as Mom's we feel like this cuz from the time our children were born, we helped them. Then they become addicted & all of a sudden all the rules change. We are told ( and rightly so ) that when we help them we are hurting them. The exact opposite of what we had been doing since they were born. It is hard to switch gears in mid-stream but if we want them to get well that is exactely what we have to do.
Hang Tough, you really are helping him by saying no.
Sabercat, I hadn't spoken to my ex hubby for almost 30yrs. When he called me about 6months ago, he told me he had gone from gambling to drugs & that he had been arrested 76 times. Before you posted that I had thought there was noone else that could even tie that number. I was wrong. Geez talk about slow learners. My ex & yours must hold some sort of record.
Love,
Diane
