Yes, your story sounds very familiar. But I agree there is a breaking point for a parent. Sounds like you're to the point. Everyone has difference tolerance of pain levels, including emotional pain. I know it's just been 7 DAYS for my son, but I can also see him wanting to make excuses of not going to rehab, just thinking he "thinks" he can do it on his own. HE CAN'T....
Your right also , alot of praying, & sometimes when times really get bad, I always say...."well God, why are you allowing my son to shoot up herion?".....why?
My thoughts & prayers are also with you, because no parent ever wants to bury their child. Today I won't either.
