We allowed him to come live with us (bad idea but perhaps necessary for my own growth).
Change "him" to "her" and that was how I viewed it too, Kindeyes (after beating myself up about it a couple of hundred times first, so you are much further along than I was at the time.
) I hope your son will choose an Oxford House - I think they offer a wonderful expereince for early recovery.
With or without addiction, I have found having adult children live in my home is less than desirable. When I think back on myself in my early 20's I realize I probably would not have gotten along too well living with my parents either, and I was fortunate enough not to have to battle addiction. I guess I needed to learn on my own; imagine that, lol.
Thanks for sharing your experiences in the gentle art of staying calm.
