Live and Let Live:

This is a slogan that I have to live daily when it comes to my son. He came by yesterday and made the comment, "Your place is neat and tidy and you are glad to have your son out of your life." I said, "I don't want my son out of my life, I just don't want him living in my life." He always acted as if I didn't have one. If I did, it was one, certainly not worth putting aside for his higher good.

I have had to continually set boundaries, reinforce them, and at times, shut the door to make him aware, that I love you dearly, but I don't like it when you come into my home and act out in your disease. He has choices, and his choice is to continue to use. I have a choice. I chose to not let him use in my space, and that includes using me.
