Hi Bump, jenny and Gem
I hope you don’t mind but I’ve been reading this thread and can relate to a lot of what’s happening to you.
My adult son is almost 28, living in his own flat (thankfully) but has alcohol and cocaine addiction for several years.
This addiction is ripping our family to shreds, as you all know from experience. You feel that you are unable to move on with your lives until their’s becomes more settled and happy.
Yep, i agree, I wonder what it’s like to have a son who is respectful, sympathetic, caring and reliable.
That’s our end goal ladies, for them to be happy and healthy and being independent of us.
I had a stressful week, son wasn’t speaking to me, but called late in evening asking to borrow £300 as the dealer was coming to break the door down for it!
What do you you? I worried about this happening and him being knifed or worse. We caved and did a bank transfer. He promised he’d pay us back, and start going to meetings again.
I’ve been anxious and feeling low all week, but managed to go to work as it is a distraction.
I’m grateful for this forum to hear that others are in similar circumstances.
Hope you all have a stress free weekend. I’m sure you all more than deserve it.
