Hi Litehorse. Welcome to the site.
This is a pretty old post from 2007 but wow. What an awful one. I hope wascally wabbit has found the strength to remove herself and the rest of her family from her son's addiction.
Please share your story in a seperate thread if you haven't already done so. There are many parents of addicts who are going through what you are going through. They will be able to share their stories and their strength and their hope with you.
