Quote From: sonighooriJust this past Sunday my nephew flew in from Upstate NY to live with me. Last night we had a long talk and he told me that he has never felt loved, that if he overdosed on drugs nobody would even notice that he was gone. He also went on to tell me that he has been doing crack cocaine every day for the past year. He claims that how he paid for his habit is the dealers used him to deliver the drugs. 
 
When we talked he said that he thinks he can stay away from the crack (which I personally doubt) but he could NEVER stay away from the pot. He tells me that he is going crazy without it and has to find some and get high 
 
I am already in a situation where I am trying to save my marriage. My husband has been gone for 3 weeks on a Pilgrimage to Mecca and will be back soon. 
 
 
My nephew is 20 years old, His mother ( my sister ) a year ago left his father after 25 years of marriage. His mother is now in a gay relationship ( which he does not like at all ). His father needs medication to control his "moods" and is not taking them.  
 
If I send him back he will go right back to the drugs and be living with a father who is not normal. His father is already calling saying "If you are not back in a month I am going to quit my job and come out there and get you!! "  
 
He wants help but I think this is over my head.  
 
I do not want to let him down. He already has had so many disappointments in his life. 
 
What do I do next ?? 
My Daughter is a crack addict . They will tell you anything to get what they want. (TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!)
Do not let him guilt you into any thing!
Been there ....Done that...
They will do what they do , and it doesn't matter who they hurt in the process!!!!!
Take it from a Mom who knows.
Until they are ready to get help, nothing else will do.
Sad but true.
Tough love ,in this case ,is the best.
