My Son- Tough Decision
My Son has being on heroin for 10 years now. In and out of jails, and in out of rehabs, hospitals, etc . Most of the time he lived with us but it was very destructive. He has 2 felonies for possession of herion and been using drugs close to 13 years.
We love him but I have going thru enough hospital visits, knocking down doors to save his life, parties to 3 in the morning etc and watching him almost burn our home down many times by smoking while high.
THE PROBELM: he is now getting out of jail My wife left 6 months ago. Divorce preceeding have begun, and I have found a significant other. (Unbelieveable but true!) I am 60 years old, and have maintain the home myself. My wife , well lets not go there. Anyway, my son is getting out of jail next week, and I refuse to letting him come back home. It hurts me to do this, but I see know other choice. I can't let him stay because it would be detructive. I am currently repairing the house and trying to get it ready for sale on top of everything.
Is there any place my son can stay? I really think staying here would be terrible, and I am trying to start as new life. I love him but can help him anymore. Nothing we did ever made him better. I know he has to. He was living on the Street of New Yrok city for a while, and claimed he liked it. We live in the Chicago area.
Any ideas here would be helpful. Also, I feel bad turning my back, but feel there is no choice!
Thanks- Jack
