His potential? How on earth can an addict, an active addict, can show us their potential? My son has great skills, intelligence, and common courtesy, but when in active addiction nothing is there.
there is potential, but not at that time.

You misinterpreted my message to the OP.
She is making decisions based on her desire for some future perceived potential that she has not witnessed yet.
Her quote:
Again, it's hard to decide what to do because I believe that he has the potential to grow into a successful mature man.
That is very different from what you have already witnessed with your son.

You're just another woman to him. Don't get pissed at him because you nosed in his phone. He told you after you left him that you were just a romp in the hay!
You need to grow up and leave him alone. He has more trouble than you will ever wish for! MOVE ON!!!

I will definitely take in everything you all had to say. I haven't told any of my friends and family that he is a recovering heroin addict ..nor do they know i am seeing him. So I can't really turn to them for advice.
I hope you can move beyond all this, you do deserve better.
