Hey /b/, could you help an anon save a very close friend from throwing their life away? If I help one person in my life I wish for it to be himself, and his grandmother. I hope that you can aid me in this, anons.

I will dump porn in return.

Backstory:

I grew up with this friend, doing all sorts of stupid shit with him. I moved away when I was 16, and set myself straight. I returned to my hometown for one week during the last fall and discovered that my friend had put himself on a path toward the life of a career criminal. I was able to push him onto the straight and narrow path but he fell off in three months time.

This evening, I receive a call from his grandmother, who he lives with, telling me that he ran away. She details to me the acts he has done, and how much it has truly hurt her; financially, emotionally, and physically he has abused her. He steals from her, she lies to her, he abuses drugs, and he manipulates her. He is much larger than her, an imposing figure. She is genuinely afraid of him, of what he will become. She fears for the safety of her grandchildren who live in the same home. During this phone call she was clearly distraught, crying, on the edge of a mental collapse.

Her daughter, his mother, is a heroin addict who took the same actions he has. My friends grandmother is blaming herself for both their actions, and it is absolutely tearing her up. His grandmother is the hardest working, most kindhearted person I have ever met. I do not wish for her to suffer.

I myself am not free of guilt. I abused drugs with him and helped him steal from his grandmother. I've confronted the former demon, but not the latter. I have made amends with his grandmother, but I have not confronted the demon. I think I am confronting it now.
