Dearest MarkDara, I had my son arrested right under my nose for theft and after 12 months (90 days in jail and 4 months in rehab and then 5 months living in sober living), he relapsed big time and broke into our home! We filed a police report, and he went missing for another 4 months. Then was arrested and served ANOTHER 5.5 months in jail. I am so convinced he would be dead if he hadn't been picked up the second time. His drug of choice is Heroin and it is a HARD one to beat. He now lives with us, but is looking to move into a sober living (the best thing for everyone concerned!). I don't regret doing what we did because if I had let it go, I am certain my son would either be in prison for stealing from someone else OR shot in a home invasion. It was a long three years and it's better now, but there were some low times. I actually found a better relationship while my son was in jail than when he lived at home using drugs.
