[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot have an actively using drug addict living in your house without living a life of total chaos. So: you are right, you cannot have him living in your house.

[b]But you also have to examine why you were comfortable with enabling [i]another adult [/i]in this way at your expense for so long. [/b]Stop avoiding going to Al-Anon—this doesn’t have to be as hard as you are making it.

All good thoughts to you, OP.[/quote]

The "another adult" is the infant that was born of her womb. This is the baby she nursed at her breast. This is the toddler she cuddled at night when he was scared.  This is the child she ached for when he felt he couldn't quite fit in when he was a middle school. This is the little boy she had big dreams for a dedicated her life to. This is someone she would lay her life down for.  And you ask this question? This is not just "another adult".

As a mother with young boys that I have hopes and dreams for, as a mother who feels physical pain when my kids are hurting, my heart aches for this mother. This is a nightmare come true.

Best of luck to you mom, I cannot imagine, I don't want to imagine.  Just be there for him without judgement without condescension and without reproach when he is ready to battle this powerful and ugly monster once and for all.[/quote]
