Should you leave your spouse if he has been using drugs and you have children and have tried to get him to seek help?

Your children come first and one of their parents has to be responsible. If you have parents, relatives or friends you can stay with please do. It is obvious your spouse has chosen the drugs over you and the children. By staying you will be nothing more than an enabler of his addiction. Leave, then see what he does. If he is serious do not go back until you are sure he is on a good program for drug abuse and even at that just be there for support and leave the children out of it. I think you already knew the answer to this one.

He last rehab date is hard to find. When he OD on heroin in 1987 and was declared dead for 2 minutes he then left the hospital got a ride home from fans, shot up again. When he got up the next day he decided to quit. He went cold turkey. He relapsed a few times, entered rehab one more time a few years later, I believe for other things not heroin. He has been clean ever since, helped open rehab center, speaks about dangers of drugs. Overall a nice comeback.

What should you do if your thirty three year old drug addicted son who has already been in rehabs many times is living on the streets?

There is nothing you can do. He is 33 and adult and you can only wait until he decides to get his act together. I have a friend with a 35 year old daughter who has the same problem. Neither of you can do anything. Both of them have to want to change.
