Hi all.I have lived with my BF for 7 years and I consider his sons to be my stepsons.He has one son, K who is 25 and has been on crystal meth for about 4 years that we know of for sure.

It has been a long and difficult 4 years. His girlfriend is on it worse than he is. They have 2 children they had to sign over to his mother because their drug use was that bad. She used it while she was pregnant with the first one and he has is own set of problems.

K recently got busted with meth and was already on probation for something else, so his probation officer helped him get into a rehab through the courts.He just got out 8 days ago and he is right back on the meth.

He had broken up with his girlfriend and once she found out he was cleaned up in rehab, she started writing to him and they have been together since he got out.

K's parents are kind and supportive and very caring. We all are. He has the largest support sytem he could ever hope for.My big problem at this point is that everyone it making it so easy for him to be a drug addict. They give him money,he has no worries.. he has a nice litte truck his daddy paid for when he almost had it repoed. He lives rentfree in a nice little house his grandparents own.

And when his dad finds out he is using again, K laughs the whole while his dad is giving him the old lecture about whats it going to take to make it stop. That makes me so angry when he does that!

It is heartwrenching to see what it is doing to my Bf... he is such a good decent man and he is hurting.I told him they really need to cut K off financialy but they feel sorry for him. Don't want him to have to do without anything.

What can be done at this point? does anyone know? what does is take to get a person off crytsal meth?We learned in drug rehab clases that it takes 2 years for the brain to even forget about meth. Part of me thinks K need to be sent to prison this time around.

He goes to court wed for the meth charge and I would like to think he has enough on him already ( his record) that he will be locked up.He seems to think its all a big joke right now. He hasn't been to the bottom like his girlfriend has.

I feel like as long as he is out free to do as he pleases, he wil keep on doing it and his family is going to keep right on helping him be a drug addict. Am I wrong in thinking its past time for tough love?

This is so stressful for me too. The children come over every weekend so K's mom can have a break because my BF feels obligated to help her out as much as we can.They are 3 yrs old and 19 months old.

These kids call me Nana and I love them as my own grandkids but sometimes I resent the fact that I must sacrifice my weekends because K is too selfish to be a parent.He is all about party, party ,party.

Any advice?
