My son is 24 years old, has two children, one is a year old and one is 3 years. He is currently separated from his wife and children. He has battled addiction to crack tor 7 years. His dad and I coerced him into rehab when he was 19. He had 6 weeks inpatient, and months on intensive outpatient rehab while in a sober living home. He was clean for a couple years. He relapsed and was arrested for public intoxication and possession when his firstborn was a year old. He went through a court ordered outpatient program, private therapy, and meetings and got clean again for nearly 2 years. His wife decided she was unhappy and they split up. She took the kids and moved in with her mom and my son went home to his dad's. He was good for about a month, but then started exhibiting signs of using again. 2 weeks ago while I was visiting, I got a call from the cops because he was asleep in his car at a stop sign with the car running. Then yesterday he was arrested for public intoxication and possession. His dad changed the locks on his home but our son broke in through the pet door of all things. I told my son he is totally out of control and needs help but of course he adamantly denies it. I wish I could make him get help.
