He's going to be staying with my Mom to get away from his apartments where he knows other drug users, plus he has been broken into repeatedly there.

> -TTC, I was away this weekend and so have only read this thread today. I know what a heartache it is to go through the process of dealing with addiction with a family member, too. I have talked at some length with my T about it and the best I can do is to keep myself as healthy as I can for my family member in trouble. (She is currently in a residential rehab program and is doing well, after trying many times to quit on her own.)
We want the best for them, we try to see what we might have done differently to have made the outcome better, but ultimately, they made their own choices in life to get where they are today; just as they have to make different choices ti change their paths too. It looks so bald and stark written out like that.
Thinking of you today,
