Our 27 year old adult son is married and lives with his wife and her 6 year old and their newborn. His wife has never used and did not know of his use until after they married two years ago (nor did we). She tried to deal with it on her own for a year but finally shared it with us Feb of 2012. He agreed to get help and went on suboxone for a couple of months but could not continue because he kept smoking pot. Now he has gown back to the pills. He was busted Thursday for the first time purchasing 8 pills and spent the night in jail in Baltimore city. Initially he acted like he was scared straight but he smoked pot yesterday. She wants him out of the house if he is going to use but he says he is not going. Can anyone share their story of how they dealt with this situation. Thanks so much

Welcome to SR.....this is a great forum with a great amount of collective wisdom. I hope you find answers and comfort here.

Many years ago when dealing with my XAH, he made it easy for me initially. I asked him to leave and he did. I changed the locks. However, I was fully prepared to leave (with my baby) if that's what needed to happen.

Ultimately, your son's and DIL's problems are theirs to figure out.

How are you coping with your son's addiction?

Welcome Jdawn.

It would be best for her to get legal advice to protect her own interests and so she knows exactly what her options are. Laws vary from state to state and in different countries, so checking in your area would be the best thing.

I'm sorry she is going through this, and hope you will find helpful information and support here.

Hugs
