To all you mums, I’ve read all your posts and feel for you all. ButtonBoy when I have researched it does say that there will be relapses and it’s how they react to them i.e. If they can admit to it and then get themselves back on track with their abstinence. Your son has admitted and seems genuinely sorry so encourage him to get back on track. Paula I hope your son continues with his staying clean. Lime, I feel for you too. If it’s any consolation at least you are all in contact with your sons and able to communicate with them. In the past we have been involved in our son’s attempts to get clean, however he never went as far as following the 12 step programme or going to rehab or CA. He has been taking cocaine for approx 10 years, aged 32, 2 failed relationships and a child with each. As I have posted before we helped him sell his house before xmas and he got a large amount of money. He owes us and a family member a lot of money. Since then he has almost cut us off completely, we have not seen him and he doesn’t speak to us but occasionally responds to the numerous texts we send. Last week he said he would be away and cut off from the outside world for a week until it’s all over!! We have been at our wits ends all week wondering exactly what he meant. I have been texting his gf to ask if he is ok and she just says ‘he’s not too bad’. He has told her not to give us any more information. Like you all have said some days I can be crying all day and other days I am planning my son’s funeral. Thinking of you all and wishfully hoping all our son’s get better xx
