Dear Annie: My husband and I are in our late 70s. We have an adult son who uses drugs. He’s been kicked out of many halfway houses, spent a month in drug rehab and gone to jail eight times due to possession and DUIs. He lost his car, his driver’s license and several low-paying jobs.
He lived with us off and on but caused many problems: dismantling his bedroom, leaving the refrigerator door open and the stove turned on, leaving messes in the kitchen, staying awake all night and bothering the neighbors. He’s been in a psychiatric facility several times but refuses to stay or take any medication for what we believe is a mental illness.
