Yes, I have done tough love when it comes to drugs, from a professional standpoint, the outcomes have been favorable.... On the other hand, I had a sister who died of an OD, large in part because my mother wouldn't be tough with her. IRMA, someone on drugs is a totally different person. They will kill you to get a fix for themself. I have watched drug addicted kids force their parents to lose all they have, it's just such a bad situation .
