Question:
My husband’s 35 year old son is a heroine addict. Says he has been clean for 5 years, but many problems have developed from this addiction such as he has been unemployed for the past 7 years, and has been asking and getting money from his father. His father is an enabler and cannot say no to him no matter what he asks. How do I stay in this relationship and not go insane? We have been married for 14 years.
Answer:
You are going to have to find a way to separate your relationship with your husband with your judgment of his relationship with his son. If you let your well-being be determined by the financial support he gives his adult son, then you are in a no-win situation. You are not in a position to change his son nor change your husband’s feelings toward him, so stop acting as if you could. Let your relationship with your husband be based on the feelings you have for each other.

I believe what we live with and choose to keep close to our hearts defines part of who we are or all of who we are. I was in a marriage for a long time where my ex-husband enabled his children to continue all kinds of unhealthy behavior. The minute I left, I freed myself from constant worry and the entrapment of my soul in this relationship. Your husband, if he allows this behavior with his son, what other types of actions and thoughts would he allow. It`s your choice, but I say free yourself.
PS: Man, you get some tough questions ... don`t you?
Deepak, you shared an amazing insight. Thank you : )
