I'm sorry you have to go through this though.

My aunt and uncle had to get tough with their boy. He was a cocaine addict who ended up stealing from them. He'd go to jail, rehab, and back to jail again. If he'd been black he'd probably still be there.

You might want to look into AlAnon or somesuch support group for relatives and friends of alcoholics, or get some counseling to help you be strong through this. It sounds to me like your husband's right...especially if you've warned your son in the past.

Don't worry too much. Some people just need to hit rock bottom before they get their act together.:hug:
