Hi Justamum
Ty for your post. Saw my son tonight. He had a black eye and from what I could gather a couple of broken ribs all inflicted I think by a dealer he owed money to. His key worker made an appointment for him to see his GP this pm but he didn’t go. The rehab offer is still on the table and once we have a confirmed date his sister says she’ll drive him (125 miles) but he does need to make a gesture & help with the petrol! My son is desperately thin as he is spending his benefits on drugs not food. I gave him a big meal tonight & he showered. My daughter (his sister) gave him clean bed linen too. He couldn’t remember the last time he had washed his clothes, bedding, cleaned his flat up etc. He has no gas or electricity & despite getting benefits twice a month (more than I earn over a month) every penny is spent on drugs! It sounds dreadful but I pray this is my son’s “rock bottom” & he decides to accept the rehab & follow it through. Hugs to everyone in pain because of the effects of a loved one’s addiction – sending love & good wishes to you Justamum & Ginger71 xxxxx
