I feel for you mate.

I may not say what I'm about to say if it was my child but I think tough love is the only way. I think you have to let him know that you are not going to tolerate someone who is using heroin, and whose use of heroin is likely landing him in jail, staying in your house.

I realise that you will be worried that kicking him out could send him on a dangerous downward spiral but he is already on a slippery slope if he is using junk anyway.

Your heart must be breaking mate but he is 24, he is a man and not a boy, and you have to think of the other kids.
