So his father won't let him live with him but gets to tell you how to act and what to do? Nope.

If you take away consequences, it robs an addict of ever reaching out for sobriety. If they have no consequence, they have no reason to do so.

It's so hard. I agree with the posters above. Go to a meeting. Get support outside of your family. Take good care of YOU.

I have now put my foot down and said NO... so the rage has been directed to me. I have had no contact with my son since writing this thread.
