Hi, I’ve been reading your text and I can really sympathise with you. My family have been through the same nightmare with my 27 yr old son. I reckon he’s been dabbling for the last 10 years. We suspected it, but it came to a head a year ago. We paid off his drug debts, gave him a clean slate, he attended AA meetings and CA meetings, did most of the 12 steps and got good sponsors. Unfortunately hes since relapsed and it’s business as usual, with him asking for money. We never give him cash, but we do buy him cigarettes, food, petrol. However, it’s taking it’s toll on our health now, with worry and anxiety. We’ve realised he’s got to learn to be independent of us, as he’s never ever suffered any consequences of his actions ..which is what we’ve been told by several support groups. Its so hard , as a parent you don’t want to see that happen. Please look after yourselves first and foremost.
