Just threw him out of the house last week and I don't know if that was the right thing to do. I've been crying about it ever since. He did call the other nite and told me he's with a friend for now.
I just asked my son to leave my house when he said he didn't think he needed to get any help. Hardest mom step ever...but boundaries help. They make choices and we all have consequences. Be strong. Hate the disease. At least that's what I tell myself and I get to meetings often. They really help.
