Question by housedirt: My son is a drug addict. Lives with me for 2 yrs. Is on methodone for 2 years. he is 33 yrs. how can i help.?
My son used to not drink or drug. when he went to college he started doing a litle here and there. It did catch up with him. Now he is not married no kids and lives his mother and I. He has a job. Works very well. He has been on a Meth. program for 2 years. He has stolen some of my drugs. In the last 7 years i have had to fight 3 types of cancer and problems. Many surgeries etc. He may could walk away after a detox i don’t know. His job may have medical benifits in about another month or two. Idon’t know if the benifit would be drug rehab. My wife and I are stable but have been sinking slowley because of dying mother in law and two grandchildren that we help over 70 percent in there finances. Actually i see no reason for him to quit. Her goes to work and when he gets home he lay’s in bed and watches t.v. He is paying off debts etc. for when he was away from home for a few years. He used to be everybody’s buddy but they all grew up and had families. he does have it made.

Make a plan with him for him to move out within a very short time and set the date. Try reaching an agreement on a time limit of two weeks for when he will be living at another address. I respectfully submit this for your consideration because it is very difficult to do this to your child. However, if the stress causes your son to lose you, that will be more difficult for him than finding another place to live. You deserve your space, wellness and to keep your personal assets. Children should be put out of the nest so that they learn to be independent and not dependent. Thus, this is in your son’s best interest as well.
