Get yourself some support Sheila – go to your own GP if you are over anxious and she will help you with that. There must be some local support where you live. Try your GP, the local church or drug counselling agencies. The charity Teen Challenge may have support workers in your local area – their rehab programmes are free and they’re a great support.
Tell him how proud you are of him every day, build up his self esteem and most of all look after yourself.
Being brave never comes without fear.
Good luck
