Recovering addict with a 19 year old addicted son

I am a addict in recovery for 2yrs. I recently found out that my 19yr. old has been smoking and possibly selling pot. This began slowly about a year ago. Now he has been kicked out of the house (trying to teach him a lesson). Big mistake! He is staying with my sister and has to leave her house because of smoking, possibly dealing, and being disrespectful. I told him to come home and we would deal with this, but he doesn't want to. I have asked my NA family what I should do and they say let him go and he will learn. Well, I did let him go and it only got worse. Please help a recovering Mom

That's great that you go to NA. Are there also Nar-Anon meetings in your area? Nar-Anon is a 12-step group geared to family members and friends of addicts. Many members in my Nar-Anon group are also active in NA but found Nar-Anon helpful in dealing with another's addiction. It is very painful to be a parent in your situation; in Nar-Anon there are people who understand your pain and can support you.
