I am the mom of an 18 year old heroin addict. We told her she had to leave..I will do anything to help her get better, but not do one more thing to help her live this way.Spent a ton of money on a fancy rehab, relapsed w/in weeks. Getting sober is HARD.. they have to want it. I'm amazed how low her bottom is, but i won't "love" her to death giving her aplace to live, food,etc. making it easier for her to continue her addiction..she didn't even graduate high school.. HER CHOICE. If she chooses to use, that is HER making the decision that she can't live here. The therapists at rehab helped me put it all back on her. I won't take responsibility for putting her out on the street..she CHOSE. Really helped me to look at it that way. Suboxone or no, maybe its time to have your son deal with the consequences of his addictions.Hope this doesn't sound harsh..I so wish all of us didn't have to go thru this!
