and grew up with him and his brother who is now my husband. When *Gary* (b-in-l) was in high school he started working at a local restaurant after school that was suspected of letting employees do drugs after their shift was over. I thought it was a joke until Gary started working there. Well, he didn't have a lot of friends then and I feel that maybe he got into this drug doing crowd out of convenience (because he was there) and for acceptance. Now, three years later he has been arrested once, spent a week in jail, is on probation and just the other day was involved in another incident (all drug related). His home was raided and he now has a court date being charged with a 4th degree felony poss. charge. I assume he is going to jail. 2 Questions: 1) Do I keep ignoring what he is doing and love him unconditionally as I have? 2) Is there ANYTHING my hubby or I could do for him to stop this habit. I don't know how much more I can watch. It makes me so sad! :( Any advice?

I absolutely agree that you must pray for him, that you cannot enable him and you must let him face the consequnences of his actions.
However, you may want to talk to someone in Narcotics Anonymous because they deal with this sort of thing all the time.
He's blessed to have you and your husband in his life.

Q-1, He is going to need all your support. Don't forget what he has done. But be there for him durning this time.
Q-2, He'll have to want to stop doing the drugs. He'll have to hit bottom, before he'll want to change.

he needs some time in jail to sober up and straighten his life out., only he can do this and realize it for himself. pray and hope for the best for him.
