Take your stand, be strong, and set boundaries. Let your husband know what you are doing and if it's time for your son to leave, then it's time for your son to leave...before the chaos begins.

It very hard to be a mama of an addicted child, but we don't have to let the darkness of addiction drag us down too. "Let go or be dragged" is one of my favourite sayings here because it spells it out loud and clear.

Hugs from my heart to your.
I like your quote. I think I'll say that to him. We're going to dinner tonight to have a talk. I told him a few days ago how I wanted to do this. He hesitated but said he would think about it.
