Desperate mother
Posted by Nessie on 29 March 2013.
Today he grabs me , today he pushes me. Today I realise I have lost my son to drugs! I can't stop crying I feel so ill, my hearts is broken. I feel he's died .... I relive his funeral I relive his death. I feel alone . My husband is angry, we argue it's breaking us up! I'm desperate and hopeless there's nothing I can do. I have to live on for my family and friends. Maybe tomorrow he' ll see the light and once we both regain our life. I want him back I want him safe I want to be me again. To see him laugh, to see him not grey, to see him clean. To hear his voice not full of abuse, to hear him say I Love u without disgrace. I love my son !

A Parent with hope

reading your blog was like a reflection of mine. My heart goes out to you. I can empathise with your story, one mother to another. I love my son so much too and sometimes except that his already dead to prepare myself for that call. stay strong you have managed it to date & you will continue because you love him so much. Something I read today 'where there is life there is hope' hope that one day they will stop. That keeps me going x
