Hi Bruno, I am in a similar situation to yourself. My son is 32 and a cocaine user for 10 years. We have supported him in many ways same as you. A couple of weeks ago he turned up at our house as he had split from his partner. He stayed for a couple of weeks but we think he was still using whilst here. It didn’t work out and he is back with his partner. It has broke our hearts to watch him lose his house, relationships and his kids over the years. He has never robbed from us but a family member loaned him some money and he hasn’t paid it back. All I can say is it doesn’t matter what you do for him, if he doesn’t want to stop and change his life he won’t. With regard to yourself we went to counselling through the local drug and mental health service. I found it helpful talking to the counsellor about our son’s addiction. Not sure what CGL is but it sounds like it’s a start. Our son went to our local NHS drug and mental health service but he stopped attending sessions. Feel free to ask any more questions and hope this helps.
