Alex	Call the cops. he is your son, but it will make him stop. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Zelda Fitzgerald	He has to hit some kind of "rock bottom". So call the cops, call a lwayer, do something to save his life and your own. Right now, and for the last 8 years, he hasn't been his actual self: he's just been an addict. Get him help. Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

alexandriaferrari1	Salaam Alaykum, I saw my husband in Finland disintegrate before my eyes. We met in Florida and he is from a wealthy family...his mom lived in Florida and that was to get him off meth...it wasn't available in South Florida..like western cities like LA. Anyway I moved with him to Finland and thats when I saw him change into a monster from the kindly peaceful man I married. I don't want to sell you a pipe dream. The only way I have seen a possible recovery as this drug is so extremely addictive is a lengthy at least a year in prison. It gives their brain a chance to recover. Consider moving to a state where Meth has not a phenomen drug yet...sadly there are few left. Best Wishes and Good Luck... Wasalaam Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gaiagurl	How old is your son? You may just have to let him go and take care of your children. He has chosen the lifestyle and as long as you have told him you will be there for him if he needs you - let him go. You cant help someone if they arent open to accepting the help. Take care of yourself Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lchae	I hate to tell you this, but I don't think there's anything you can do. I am a meth addict and I hate it everyday of my life. I am clean now but it's only been because of circumstantial reasons that I got clean and it will take the same for him. There's nothing you can say or do to stop him. You will only adjitate him and He will want to use even MORE. Eventually he will get in trouble and maybe get probation where they make him drop ua's randomly. That's how I got clean. I wish I never would of started. I wish there were other alternatives. You can try an intervention but he has to want to quit and chances are... he doesn't. If you tell him how you feel it will make an impact. I mean I know I didn't enjoy getting high knowing how wrong it was and how much it hurt my family. One things for sure you can't get high if you don't have money so if you give him cash...STOP! don't give him a cent. Tell him how much it hurts his children. Ask him to consider going to treatment and then step back while he contemplates it give him a week and then ask him again. Meth charges are always steep and tough too! remind him that he could go to jail or prison if he doesn't stop. Suggest he go to an NA meeting where there will be lots of people just like him that he can relate to.don't give up on him and try to get him into the dentist and doc for a check up in the mean time. I'm sorry it's the way it is but I'm sure he hates it too! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cece	take him to rehab! or kick him out the house but keep the kids. it might make him realize his problem if not sorry to say but he might be so addicted that he has no more feeling sorry and good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Beau M	Sit down with him, and tell him to get his act together. If he gets all frustrated, and ignores you, tell him where do you think your life is going. Don't raise your voice, and for sure seek professional help. Or call a meths addict hot-line - 1.800.480.5965 - you need to have your son seek help, or you won't have one, his lifestyle will kill him. I am sure it would make you feel terrible to leave his kids, and that is where he knows you will keep caring for them, and that you won't leave. You could call child services, and take the kids with you and leave him, but that would also make you feel bad. Try not to threaten him, since he knows you will stay with him, for his kids. But you need to talk to him, get professional help, and you need to ask him, what is going to happen to his life. You need to make him realize that he will die. Bring up his kids in the conversation. But seek professional help! 1.800.480.5965 Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wild's	He must realize by now that this is an issue with you, so I'd tell him to seek help and quit or cut him off. You've dealt with enough stress. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gnomiechick	I agree w/ Phoenix; he needs to be arrested and rehabilitated. If you can't take it anymore, call the authorities. You can't manage this problem any more. Plus, he shouldn't be around the kids in his condition. Bless your heart, I'm sorry you're going through this. My prayers go out to you and your family. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

xoxo_lady_luck_xoxo	My heart goes out to you and your grandchildren. Has he been in treatment? That's the first step and I know he most likely refuses help. You don't say how old your son is. Since he probably refuses help, then all you can do is take care yourself and those children. Please contact Al-Anon immediately. Call them on the phone. Go to meetings. Get support to help you get through this. They will help you learn how to deal with it, but you have a lot of hard work ahead of you (emotionally). If you can afford other help, that's great! Al-Anon has no cost except to rid you of the misery.. Set yourself free of your son. He's made his choices and now you have to make your choices. You have to become very educated. It's your main weapon to fight this. I pray for you and your son and grandchildren. I truly hope you find the strength you need to get through this and help those children to grow up strong and clear-headed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mr. Bugsme	He needs to get help. Until he's willing to get off the junk, it's going to eat him alive. Meth is the worst thing ever (I think maybe even worse than crack). I'm sure you've suggested counseling/treatment to him already, but maybe give it another shot. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rabble rouser	I'm so sorry... I know how hard it is. I myself am a recovering addict (4.5 years clean) and I can tell you that the one part that still sorrows me to this day is the disappointment I triggered on my family. The 12 step programs work wonderfully for someone who wants to get better and thinks that they can. You may have to express some tough love and cut him off socially and financially.... it will hurt you and help him. You could also consider going to an Alanon meeting and getting some literature (it's for family members of addicts and alcoholics). I'm with you - I hope everything gets better for him and you and your family. But one thing is important to remember - you are not at fault for his choices... you have no control over him. You only have control over your own actions. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LifeisShortButSweet4Certain	I agree with getting him arrested and not letting him know it was you. He needs a MAJOR realitity check. I give you credit for taking care of his 2 kids, but seriously, they cant grow up with a father like that. Have you talked to him about it? Going into rehab? Telling him this is hurting YOU and his children? This is a very hard habit to kick, they have meth clinics to wean you offf meth, but he really needs to want this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

justin_sechrist	Talk to him find some way to break it to him that its dangerous and don't let anyone make your life miserable just don't worry it is his problem Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JeNNa_NiCoLe	Get him on Intervention Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Josie A	take him to a doctor and theripist maybe you might need to go to a theripist too so you can be more calm and happy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cathead	Intervention. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chyduck33	Contact the A&E show intervention, they have professionals to help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Clueless	sometimes the only way for them to grow up is to NOT taking care of them it seems that he knows you are there for him no matter what, so it's time to step down and tell him "it's your life live it" you deserve to live YOUR life happily even though he is your son, the fact that he has two kids show that he at least thinks he is grown up enough to be someone's daddy, then he better start acting like one and seriously kick him out ofyour house and do NOT take care of him it's time he takes care of himself Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

xoxoxox3	omg i really do not know what to say to that....maybe get him some help...this must be hard for u ... i really an srry Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Phil M	Well, you wont like the answers but here goes it. Call CPS, and get custody. Tell your son he can go to rehab or you're going to call the cops. Give him a couple hours to make up his mind. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Jessiqqa	rehab Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

twotone27069	Its gotta be hard for you but in a real world with real problems are drugs are one of the problems ..First suggestion would be find out wheres hes getting it from and report the dealer or dealers ..that might stop him from being able to buy it ..do some invesgation of your own read up on it theres are tons of online refences just type it in the search browser and hit search ...third talk to family doctor about admiting him into a rehab if he has a serious addiction you being mother are aloud to admit him without his concent the only thing is how long will they hold him there for ..i hope you find the answers your looking for and good luck and happy hoildays ... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Phoenix Princess of Darkness	Get him arrested. Meth is not something easily acquired in prison. I'm not kidding. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cwstuffff	wow Mia. I'm very sorry. Turn your focus to his children. Do the best you can with them. Your son may be lost. Your son needs professional help, way more than you can provide, and he cannot receive help until he faces his problem and seeks help voluntarily. I wish you strength in this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mveeyore_luver	thts not good Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
