Son's addiction
Published (2009-12-24 00:01:00)
(((SS))) - you have a good point...some aren't ready when they enter rehab, but find that willingness while they are there, and the longer they are in rehab, the better chances they have. Each A has their own bottom, I believe. I also believe that the faster they are made to face the consequences, which most of the times means the family says "enough!!!" and stops giving us places to stay, money to keep us out of jail,...

How do I get past the hurt?

His reponse would be to come and threaten me I'm sure. I could do that but it takes strength from me to stand firm. I don't feel like I have that right now.

TK and Teke, thank you for piping in. It is really helpful for me to hear from people who understand my brother's mind. TK, I am really relieved to hear that you feel his suicide talk is likely more manipulative than it is serious. And Teke, it sounds as though you really benefited from being held accountable for your actions. That is what I want for my brother. Well, per everyone's suggestion, I went out and bought Codependent No...

Son's addiction
Published (2009-12-21 06:33:00)
I too have made the mistake of allowing my son back in to regroup. But dealing with addiction requires us to be counterintuitive - and that means many of our friends and family are going to think we are "mean." But i for one have reached the point where i am doing what i'm doing because my son's life is at stake - whether family or friends agree with that or not I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY THINK. and i'm also...

welcome jacksdaughter. you have truly come to the right place. hang around here and people will be sharing their ESH in a situation just as yours.
If you are a reader, there are many good stickies at the top of this forum with also a list of books that many of us have found to be not only helpful but lifesavers as well.
As far as your being surprised about the extent of his problem, ...

Hi there. I'm glad you posted.
you can't change her. you can't help her. you can't make her want to get better. you can't make her be honest. you can't make her be a good mother.
Consider that this is the woman that you married, and that she is not going to change. if your name is on the house it could be that you tell her to leave because your not going anywhere. But either way, it kind...

While it's true that she could possibly start using again, the fact that she's been clean for 2 years sounds promising. As far as the other goes, this isn't a relationship advice board, but I would advise you to look at that list you made and ask yourself if that's what you had in mind for a girlfriend when you joined that dating site.

I understand your anger and your hurt. Your husband made his choice. He certainly didn't condsider you or the children when he chose to stop working on his recovery and start feeding his addiction. I'm sorry that it came right before Christmas but there never really is a good time for a relapse...
Your husband has all the tools he needs to recover and live a full life but it doesn't sound ...

Hi and welcome.
Addicts steal from family members because they assume that family members won't press charges. In your brother's case, so far he has been right. He will continue to steal as long as he doesn't get in trouble for it. He will continue to use your parents as long as they allow it. He will continue to use drugs until using them causes him more pain and misery than not using them....

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you I know how you feel. My Addict has been gone now for 3 weeks since I changed the locks and made him leave. It has been hard to watch the major reality of him choosing the drug over me. I literally am watching him choose it over me.
BUT, I have learned that he really is not choosing it over me. He still loves me somewhere deep down inside. But, he is an ...
