Walking on eggshells

Not sure what to do. I walk around on eggshells because my son has severe anxiety and addiction problems. He refuses To get help And thinks everyone else is the problem. He continues to smoke pot but we know it makes his anxiety worse once he’s off. I’m so depressed and want him out of my house ASAP. He’s 22.

Sheenna, sometimes "tough love" needs to be the choice.

I should talk since I walk on eggshells myself with an adult child.

If they don't want help and won't change, they we need to change

how we react to their problem. Take care of "you" :) xx
