Hi Jenny,
I’m really sorry about your son struggling at the moment, and having to find another room. That must be unsettling for him, and really hard at the moment. Its heart-breaking seeing them sink like this. Its probably for the best that he doesn’t stay with your mum, you may have an even bigger problem to worry about. I hope he does turn a corner soon.
I still have my son home, he is 7 weeks clean from heroin but its so hard. I feel like he is running out of steam with it. He stays in his room all day, eats in there and only comes out at night when we are in bed. He is spoking weed, so spaced out most of the time and eating everything in sight. I just hope he turns a corner, because it feels so much like we have been here before. I feel guilty when I am at work, and we seem to bicker when I come home – the mess in his room!!! He won’t talk to anyone about what he’s going through, just wants to manage it himself. We went out for a meal the other night just the two of us, he ate a huge amount of food and got drunk. I just feel we are replacing one problem for another, its like he is so strong when he starts to get clean, but maintaining it is hard, hard work. Sorry I have grumbled on, it just feels endless at the moment.
I hope that everyone else is doing better and that there are positive things happening.
