Hi traecyr, so get you. I haven’t seen my son in 8 years. I love him so much but no one else in my family will stand by him except my mother & I. He has been addicted to so many drugs. He lives in Australia now where he was born. I live in NZ now. We finally had to send him away as he disrupted the whole family. He went to his father who was no help at all. I finally had to realise that I had other children to think about too, he was making all our lives miserable. He lies all the time. Always wanted money & had all the excuses why & it was always for more drugs. I always gave him some but have stopped now. Have had to do the tough love thing. I don’t think I can offer any advice. I think that we just have to have someone we can talk to about it because they are who they are. It just cuts you up so much being a parent who loves them so much.
