[quote=Anonymous]I wish I had words to help... but my words will hurt.

At some point you just have to say... you are an adult, we have done all we can and let the chips fall where they may.

The person you knew is gone, he is somebody else now.

I do suggest having your son do DBT counseling. 
I suggest you read Buddhist bootcamp.

I have 3 brothers with addiction issues... you can't "help" them, and all the "help" you give stunts their growth to help themselves.

1 brother is great, thriving, sober owns a company make tons of money
1 brother is in and out of rehab (at least 10 times)... lawyer making $350k/year
1 brother died

This generation of 20 year olds. I know so many families who have a child addicted to opioids... White rich educated families.

There are support groups for moms... you should join one. They can give you the most up to date help and support when you need to say to your child... you are an adult this is your life you have to fix this yourself.

People think that this disease is like cancer. It's not .. the more attention you give the worse it get, not better. It's hard. [/quote]
