Sabmabel will be signing out. My son has seen 2 doctors and a therapist in the past week. He called to set up an outpatient program. He has not used in 5 days, which I'm sure involved some "trying". He has started on an SSRI for depression and anxiety. He has not had a job since last Friday. I am not looking for a ego boost by talking to my son and trying to help him through this. I'm looking for him to get better. Some of you expect me to feel guilty for talking to my depressed son who is trying to quit drugs. He'll get a job after he gets his health straightened out and goes to treatment. I know....i'm enabling, I'm killing him, he'll never get better until I throw him on the street. Maybe you're right but I'm not going to do that. Neither his therapist or mine or his doctors felt that was what I should do. BTW, both of our therapists are substance abuse specialists with 25+ years experience. It is shameful to treat a person you came here looking for advice like some of you have.
