I don't disagree that my addicted son "desperately needs help" -- that's why we've spent tens of thousands of dollars and countless sleepless nights trying to do our very best to help him! All to no avail. He is 21 and worse than he's ever been.

I resent the implication of your post. It is very hurtful to me.
