Well, as being on heroin myself in the past, it is very hard to get off and and the withdrawls are terrible. Would not wish that on my worst enemy. As far as being able to do something for him, there is something that I have heard and read about that have all of those who care about him and see what he is doing all get together with him and confront him about your worries and what he is doing. I am not at all sure that it would do any good though. As with any addiction, the person does not see they have a problem, are in denial of it. Maybe by letting him know how you feel and about what might happen to him and then what the kids would have to deal with may be an eye opener to him and may be an open door for help for him. Sometimes, unfortunatly, some people just cannot be reached and have to do what they want and everyone else has to see the outcome. I know that is sad to think but it does happen. Not sure what else to say but hope things can get turned around soon before it is too late.
