If you can't beat them, join them!!!!!

well i think that that is really stupid. for one i know of a love called tough love wherein you allow your son to suffer in order for him to be cured. what i mean is that the father should forcibly send his son to rehab and seel medicine help so that the sons addiction will be cured. the father is only making it worse. the sons addiction will eventually lead both of them to physical and mental problems later on.

people may say that the father is stupid or wrong. but for the overcaring father, that may be the last option that he has. if your son is out there in anywhere-no-one-knows, you'll never know what gonna happen to him. it gives you worries you couldn't take. so, maybe he decided to have that option in order to make his son stay at home. at least in there, they are together. how sad, children cannot appreciate what parents have done for them. too bad, they cannot feel their parents' love for them. they cannot feel because they refuse to feel it. if they'll only listen. i, personally, am not a good son. i give my parents a lot of headaches. but realizing their sacrifices can make me cry, and ask myself, "what have i done?". God help us... ^^

No,I don't think that was a correct thing to do.Instead of correcting his son,he put himself too in danger.

I think so they have to act like that and if they truly love them they try to avoid that kind of things then if they doesn't listen then there in now way getting into the same so it cannot b helped.

he only make things worst it can't help! if he love his son he will force him to quit that thing no matter what! if he want to protect his son, send him to rehab. that's the only he can protect his son!

That is the strangest thing I have heard. But I can see the point of the father, although he should have convince his son into quiting instead of encouraging him more into it.

No, that is not smart, and at least where I live it is illegal. That does not really teach the child anything, but that it is okay sometimes to do wrong things. It is not. I would be inclined to try to put the son in a treatment program instead. I would say, "This is how much I really love you, I am not going to let you hurt yourself any longer."

thats a unique story i've ever heard, if the father wants hs son to have him at home then why did he join his son, maybe he use to do it when he was young.

NO. Take the soon to a doctor who is trained in how to deal with addiction. The father can get in trouble along with the police. Let trained professionals take care of it.

He's just enabling him instead of getting him the help he truly needs. Doing damage to his own body and getting himself addicted isn't going to help his son at all. That's just crazy. Why not find other ways to help him. My god that is unheard of.

He felt he was losing his son. This was the last resort for him. If his son was not going to quit, keeping him home to do it gives the father a way to keep an eye on his son for his son's safety and to make sure his son isn't with anyone who will influence him further. If I were this man, I can honestly say I might have done the same thing. I also wouldn't call this man an "overcaring" father. I think he is doing what most dads should do. You can never be an "overcaring" parent. In a way he is giving in and giving up, but he is not letting go of his son.

og...this sounds absolutely incredible as for who will say like this to his son.This is absurd .I won't beleive this.

even i accept your point that if we really can't beat them,we shud bcom their frnds...

that was a good thing.all the problems need to be solved in family and that was a good start to help his son.

He´s not protecting he just helping his son digging up a big hole where they together will fall, hope that someone could open their eyes and safe both of them.

well, i know that what his father is doing is not right... but again i can understand from his point of view... he just wants to protect his son... may be he thinks doing it with him at home is much more safer rather than doing it with his friends which he has no control of... no matter what, the live of a father has no limit...

sometimes parents go crazy when things happen like this, they cant seem to think straight. But I think the first thing to do is to try and get him help!

"Kunsintidor sya, Manong".. If really wants to help he's son, he should've put him in a rehabilataion center. The way I say it, he's the one who's trying to kill his son. What kind of a father is he? I really can't get what he's trying to prove, this really is just not right. I think a liitle help coming from other concerned people would stop their foolishness.

i dont think his father did the right thing.he could have taken the son to a rehabilitation center and could have got him treated rather than doing such a thing.i would not have done a thing like this

that is really fullish,i have never heard o souch thing.That is shurely the worst decission he could get.
