I have to agree with Laurie,,he does not have the survival skills of a 2 year old. You haave offered him help..won't take it. Is he getting better under your care? No, becuase you are not a treatment center. I never wanted to kick my kid out, but i did for a couple of reasons..one..so she could feel what a life of addiction really is like. You will be hungry, dirty, lose your friends, your job, waste all your money, catch diseases, etc. Two, I didn't need to have a front row seat to the destruction and deserved some peace. I can say that as of right now, she is saying she's sick of it and is in rehab. She was homeless for 8 months and progresed to shooting heroin. VERY hard to have lived with. But, you have no control over him now and he's not getting better, maybe the kindest thing you could ever do is let him fully be a MAN instead of a child. Maybe you are getting there. Be gentle with yourself.
