Dear Lindyloo and Debc. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I have been trying many of the things you suggest here, and have read many of the other posts where I can relate. My son is 27 and is still on his downward spiral. Last night was very difficult for me as I know that he had nowhere to go and was sleeping in a car park in Glasgow City Centre. It was a horrible rainy windy night last night. I didn’t sleep.
He phoned this morning demanding money, he was so water I could barely make out what he was saying.
I find it difficult to close my eyes as all I now see are images of my son either begging outside in the street or injecting up a filthy lane.
One of the things that resonated with me on another post was a sort of it’s him or me situation. I feel I have done all I can for now as My own health; physically and mentally is failing. I will carry on and try to find some strength , but it’s all so painful, maybe the situation with Covid is making things worse, but the most difficult part is that my son still blames me for everything. No one is perfect, but I always do the best I can and feel he had a good upbringing. Once again thank you for your support. It does make a difference.
