I am looking for support as I live in a rural area and there are no face to face meetings close by. Anyway we have a 25 year old son who is a cocaine addict. Today I fell that I will be sentencing him to death as we will be cutting him off financially.
We have been living with his addiction for almost 5 years now. We sent him to rehab last summer for 2 months, he came out and what a change in him for the better. He liked talking to us was working on his recovery daily and he got his job back. He was clean and sober for 5 1/2 months then he relapsed in November. Spent all his money, so we of course do what parents do to protect there child and pick up the pieces by covering his bills and rent, enabling him of course. He came to stay with as for 6 weeks in December-January. Recently went back home and was there 2 days and started using again.
We can't take this any longer so our plan is to cut him off. He will no longer have a place to stay and the end of the month and no job so I am afraid he will be on the streets, but we cannot continue enabling him.
It breaks my heart but I feel if we continue to pick up the pieces everytime he will not get better.
